are the Mongols always forced to apologize for Genghis Khan

do the Islamic Empires have to apologize constantly

hell the Ottomans were more ruthless than any European empire


Is it simply White/Western Guilt complex
>>
>>2409597
White people are weak and have no will to power. Even when they conquered they fooled themselves into thinking they were helping people and taking on the "white man's burden." Once they realized it was bullshit they could do nothing but give up and apologize.

>are the Mongols always forced to apologize for Genghis Khan
They have mongolism, they can't be held responsible
>do the Islamic Empires have to apologize constantly
Islam is THE religion of peace
>hell the Ottomans were more ruthless than any European empire
Do you see any Ottoman around?

how is this a /pol/ question?

to be honest its quite a legitimate historical question, why it seems like Europe is always pressured to apologize for its imperialistic past compared to other civilizations with similar track records
>>
>>2409623
Do you see the mongols and turks in power from their conquests any more? No. Besides, it's an obvious /pol/ bait post.

"it" meaning mongols, forgot to specify

Because white people are weak milquetoast pussies.

But it just isnt true what you said, Shlomo

Europeans havent been in charge for decades.

>european is racist for defending himself and his people

>>2409717
Those who participated in colonization are still the world's leading countries economically, politically, and culturally. You are retarded.
>Defending himself
If you think the imperial period was self defense then you are indeed retarded.

Protip: They were the world's leading countries BEFORE participating in colonization too. Hence how they were able to colonize other regions.
>>
>>2409638
Turks are still pretty much in power due from their conquest

European imperialism still goes on to this day in the form of American foreign military adventures.

Why do you think you never hear a word out of the leaders of Western European cunts that actively condemns US invasions the same way you hear it for Russia or China? Why do you think they almost always tag along on said adventures? Why do you think the US hasnt been sanctioned by the UN?
>>
>>2410693
Actually they generally weren't. The Ottoman Empire and China held more wealth than any single European state before the discovery of the Americas
>>
>>2410944
The Ottomans were a colonizing nation. Egypt, Arabia, the levant were all little more than sources of income. China is an exception in every sense of the word given its size, age, and population but if you compare the average wealth of a person in China to the average person in Europe you will find Europe to be much higher.
>>
>>2409597
Actually a lot of people want to force the Turks to apologize for the Armenian holocaust, and for Japan to apologize for all their WW2 atrocities. The difference is that the Europeans are the only ones cucked enough to actually give in.
>>
I don't remember having to apologize for anything. What instances of apologizing specifically are you referring to OP?
>>
2410677
How many turks and mongols form the ruling class in the americas? Stop playing the victim. Whites have been in power for centuries and still are today.
>>
The contexts are different. Mongolia in no way made (and continues to make) long-term profit off colonial and imperialistic gains. The Mongol empire faced collapse as soon as Genghis died so the Mongolian state itself can't be held accountable. The institutions set up by the West still exist and were the same institutions that executed and profited from imperialism.

Also it looks like the world asks us for apologies because European expansion literally affected the whole world. I'm sure Turkey gets calls for reparation (or at least acknowledgement for certain genocides) but you don't read Turkish news, or you're not sensitive to the minorities in and around Turkey. The same for other Muslim countries.

And it's other white people who also call for reparations. A culture sorting through its own shit. By the way, no one 'forces' Western nations to apologise. More often than not it makes no apologies.
>>
>>2411308
This. The US still doesn't acknowledge it's genocide against the natives. The same is true in some latin american countries towards their native people. Japan continues to get heckled over their comfort women by koreans. So it happens to other nonwestern countries but since the effects are regional you likely don't hear about it. Western countries on the other hand effected the whole world and the way it's run today is a result of their imperialism in the past. Though some continue soft forms of colonialism in the present, such as France in Africa.

*imperialism

Europe aint apologizing for shit.
>>
>>2409597
Whites(millennials) hate their western culture that sparked by the reformation, so to force it upon generations across the globe is a grave sin.
>>
>>2411932
Why would you want to force things on others?
