Fact: Europe would've never gotten close to being this successfull

Its also because europe is a super crammed plague infested shithole that didn't have enough room for everyone so competition drove you to expand your horizons and colonize. Thank god for that though.

Also wtf is with Somaliland (ex-British) being white?

>>79447327
For northern Europe maybe. I don't think it's that important for Spain, France, Italy etc.

Anyway... you could say the same about any civilization.
Egypt without the Nile?

then why is japan orange? they got occupied too.

>>79449252
Occupied by the US, which isn't Europe.

>>79447327
that is why we're the most important country to ever exist

should at least be "european sphere of influence".

speaking of which, the same should apply to russia, considering it's an asian country with a european culture.

>an asian country with a european culture.

I don't get this meme. What do you consider british empire be per exemple ? the vast majority of land was out of Europe

>>79449293
Portugal founded Nagasaki, but I guess it doesn't count.

>>79449507
the major difference here is that the overseas territories were never considered part of england.

the asian parts of russia, on the contrary, are considered a part of the russian nation state.

>>79449678
by that logic you could call the US a polynesian nation because of Hawaii
