South Korea and Japan should be coloured light blue - European powers quickly signed similar treaties with Japan following the US treaties.
“Never colonized by Europe”
“Colonized by America”
Pretty sure Liberia started as US colony for freedman people. Thailaind was Influenced by Europe, France invaded them a bunch of times. Japan too was influenced by Europe and the US, they literally forced Japan to do shit for them.
Someone better tell Putin that they are part of Europe now.
Wasn’t Finland kinda colonized? I know it shows up on maps of stolen indigenous land
Sápmi (region of northern Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Russia), which is the land of the Sámi peoples, was essentially force assimilated over centuries by Germanic populations encroaching from the south. I think this counts as colonization depending on your definition, especially considering that those respective countries today control most of what is historically Sámi territory. The Sámi activists I follow are all supporters of a free Palestine.
