It's less a geographical or hemispheric distinction, and more a political one.
This page on imperial core is good.
Should Greece really be on that list? The only criterion where it's not grayed out is "Awarded Parts of China to Japan", which actually means "signed the Treaty of Versailles after WWI". And unlike many of the other countries that signed it, Greece did not get anything to itself from it.
Agree, especially considering how much the EU has screwed over Greece in recent years. Not really an exploiter of global south labor via finance capital, which the US, GB, France, Germany, and the Nordic countries, definitely are.
Technically, Australian's aren't colonisers; they're victims of British colonisation.
Aboriginals are the victims
That's what I said ;)
I presume whenever u say american u always mean amerindians and never anglo-americans.
You're not making the point you think you are.
I understand the implications of both.
I don't truly call Australian Aboriginals "Australians", I was being facetious.
Also, I call them "Native Americans".
