What counts as a colony? When did Greece have one?

>>994637
Cyprus, which belongs to Turkey

>>994633
First ones to the game.

They were the first European nation to navigate around Africa.

>>994643
That's what the Turk wants you to believe.

>>994633
indian ocean + africa

>>994637
The Greek number is WAY to low if we are starting since the beginning of history which I will assume until it is specified, which this graph didn't do
They had in Sicily for example
A better graph would tell size of land anyways. Overall shit graph

>number of colonies
So whatever colonial power divided their holdings into the most separate subdivisions wins this chart.

>>994637
Pre-Alexanderian Ancient Greece had colonies in modern-day Libya, Egypt, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, France, Russia, Albania, Montenegro, Cyprus and Croatia (which I mean actual colonies -- places that they sent to foreign lands to set up their own communities and preserved their culture in). Alexandrian and post-Alexandian gets more fucked up in counting what technically were or weren't colonies.

Wtf. Latvia's my favorite colonial empire.

The Eternal Anglo.

not to mention that there are more T*rks from the mainland living in occupied Cyprus than actual Turkish Cypriots.

>>994627
Poland had a colony.

>>996099
Spain never did Asia, Portugal did. That gives them more points.

>Spain never did Asia
Yeah, lets ignore that Island chain in Southeast Asia named after a Spanish King.

Also fucking Portugal's place in Asia was a Chinese handout for them to trade in. They were removed from their initial colonies in Asia due to piratical antics of the Portuguese, leading to their ouster and a short lived law where it was death sentence to be Portuguese in China.

>>994666
colonies founded by greeks =/= colonies founded by the country of Greece

>>994782
see above

>>994633
because a country's geography mandates it's destiny

>>994637
Archaic Greece, Alexander, Byzantines

>>994627
who cares about how many colonies, give us the numbers in square meters

>>996492
Or estimates from the GDP gained by it or something. How are Brazil, India, Congo etc. even in the same category as Rwanda and East Timor?

This chart tells little to less.
Belgium had few but huge colonies from which they gained much profit, the German had more colonies but they were mostly tiny Islands in the pacific or african desert.

Can someone explain to me why Spain didn't just fuck Portugal over continously since they seem to have been in competition of doing the same thing and Spain was a more powerful and imperial nation? How come Portugal and Spain got along so well?

>>997358
spaniards are cronically incompetent
plus, choosing your alliances wisely goes a long way.
of course, portugal wasnt aware of the dangers of the eternal anglo, and prolonged the alliance a bit too much

>>994672
>dutch were the realest @ colonization and brits copied their model
and the dutch originally copied the portuguese model and improved upon it

>>997358
Portugal was a proxy of England. That's why they got anything in the Berlin Conference, for England to use it through Portugal.
