Ex-spanish provinces on the top, ex-dutch and ex-british colonies below. Do you notice any difference? 🤔

  1. The Spanish Black Legend is a purported historiographical tendency which consists of anti-Spanish and anti-Catholic propaganda. Its proponents argue that its roots date back to the 16th century, when Spain’s European rivals were seeking, by political and psychological means, to demonize the Spanish Empire, its people, and its culture, minimize Spanish discoveries and achievements, and counter its influence and power in world affairs.

  2. I do notice a difference. One includes mestizos and the other doesn’t. Without a strict definition of mestizo it is practically everyone.

  3. Yes, our colonies suck. We did something wrong when Chile is our most successful cousin.

  4. I have no clue what this means, and your explanation doesn’t make it better. But i guess people of old colonies that come to the countries that colonized?

  5. Me when I cherrypick data

    Try comparing Argentina and Uruguay to Belize and New Zealand

  6. 🤡 Our imperialism was better than your imperialism 🤡

    Now do economic development.

  8. Why die whith lots of money, when you can live and enjoy women? Biologicaly make sence.

  9. Suriname has plenty of Indians. We imported them from India and Indonesia.

  11. Because of the Treaty of Tordesillas, Spain didn’t have access to Africa until the 18th century. As a result, they didn’t use African labor like the rest of us and had to preserve the Indigenous population so they would have someone to work

  12. Settler colonies vs Colonies just made to create value

  13. I notice a tendancy for famine and disease where the Brits colonize. Are they dirty?

  17. These estimates go by self identity and within Latin countries it’s quite typical for many to identify as native when they are mostly European. I seen it with my ex, she was Venezuelan and was sure she was mostly native, her DNA test showed she was 100% European. Spanish, Greek and Italian. The South American count also includes mestizo population while in North American count doesn’t. It’s also worth noting that the native populations pre colonialism were far higher in south and Central America versus north, hotter climates typically have higher populations.

  20. The difference is that british colonies are better countries.

  22. Just to speak for my own country, usually when we married a native we took them home with us. Big difference in mentality, we sent people to govern as young men and then return home (nice native wife optional), we didn’t send that many people to actually settle permanently. Plenty of people with (native or with African descent in between) Surinamese or Indonesian heritage here, more often than not half Dutch half native of a former colony (or subsequent generations after such a mix). Hell, even our most prominent racist politician is half Indonesian.

  24. To be honest I do not care for our ex colonies, Latin America never crosses my mind

  25. 0/10 didn’t include the Asian or African colonies. Wonder how many natives are left in Indonesia, India, Ghana, Malaysia and South Africa

  27. Not related to the topic but the graph use the word “indios” wrong. It should be “indĂ­genas”.

    Indios= People who come from India.

    IndĂ­genas= indigenous people.

  28. Seeing the word Indios and Mestizos together i imagine it would rather refer to native americans.

    But i don’t think that’s right for surinam, either be it natives or indians. both have a higher percentage of population i think.

    what the hell does this map even represent?

  29. I’m sorry I’m not sure what this says, I don’t speak Mexican

  30. Spanish atrocities were so bad in South America that their friar Bartolomeo de la Casas had to write a book out of pure guilt and remorse: The Destruction of the Indies.

    Also wrote a letter to the Queen about the crimes because he could not contain it in himself any longer.
