<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1539401, member: 66"]So we have the Crusades, the inter-kingdom warring, the constant wars with France, the conquering of India and subjection of their native population, Slavery, the near wiping out of the aborigines in Australia, colonization of southern Africa and the subjugation of the people there (slavery or near slavery), Official "piracy" on the high seas against the Spanish, kidnapping of people to be forced to serve in their navy both of their own citizens and those of other nations, persecution of their own people for not being of the official religion after the King kicked out the church and forms his own because he didn't like their rules. And I'm sure there are more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically no matter what country you chose you can find some pretty appalling things they have done. Yes Nazi Germany was pretty bad but they aren't the only ones. And to blame other eras of German history because of what one group did is pretty short sighted. It's like the people who still want to hold the US accountable for slavery. Yes we had slaves, most western countries did. Slavery ended here almost 150 years ago and there is not a single person alive today who was a slave. I would be surprised if there is anyone alive today whose grandparents were slaves but it is still used today as an excuse for why we should be blamed today for what our great great grandparents did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
