Imperialism - Colonialism - Slavery
Imperialism, state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Because it always involves the use of power, whether military force or some subtler form, imperialism has often been considered morally reprehensible, and the term is frequently employed in international propaganda to denounce and discredit an opponent’s foreign policy.
Russia Wants to Erase Ukraine’s Future—and Its Past
The memory of Soviet-era famines, mass killings and other traumas makes Ukraine determined not to return to Russian rule. Last July, Russian occupation authorities in the Ukrainian city of Luhansk used a crane and dump truck to remove a monument to the victims of the Holodomor, the state-engineered famine that the Kremlin unleashed in 1932-33 to subdue the restless Ukrainian countryside.
Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating
A decision to negotiate the sovereignty of Ukrainians without them – as well as US President Donald Trump’s blatantly extortionate attempt to claim half of Ukraine’s rare mineral wealth as the price for ongoing US support – reveals a lot about how Trump sees Ukraine and Europe.

The TRUTH Of The White Slave TradeSlave comes from "Slav" because so many white Slavic people were enslaved
At the height of the British Empire, just after the First World War, an island smaller than Kansas controlled roughly a quarter of the world’s population and landmass. To the architects of this colossus, the largest empire in history, each conquest was a moral achievement.
BRIGHTON, England — Tens of thousands of people protested in British cities in solidarity with those rising up against police brutality against black Americans in the past week. They highlighted similar injustices in Britain. Protesters in the city of Bristol drew connections between a white police officer’s killing of George Floyd, a black man in Minneapolis, and the histories of colonialism and the slave trade. On Sunday, they toppled the statue of Edward Colston, a 17th-century slave trader, trampled over it and rolled it into Bristol Harbor.

How Britain stole $45 trillion from India And lied about it.
There is a story that is commonly told in Britain that the colonisation of India - as horrible as it may have been - was not of any major economic benefit to Britain itself.
