in the context of my original post, it is. most immigration to the USA was the result of military conquest (korea,china,vietnam, mexico, dominican republic, cuba) while your immigrant citizens are from pakistan and india and jamaica.
thats beside the point,. are you going to argue that american pop culture hasnt conquered the world?
In the examples you named we governed India and Jamaica with British people installed as the government. And created Pakistan with the breakup of British rule in "India".eleven bravo wrote:
thats not true in the least. it doesnt even matter what you define as conquered? OK, I concede china and korea. but vietnam and latin america? very much conquered.

Yes Iraq was a military conquest. But it wasn't solely America. And it's hardly a "colony".eleven bravo wrote:
are you at all familiar with the military actions of the united states against ANY country in latin america? I dont think you are because if yu were you wouldnt be arguing this point.

So you wouldnt consider invasion of Iraq as a military conquest?
I think you're using the word conquest wrong.eleven bravo wrote:

Who would have thought the slavery thing would have worked out so well - in terms of sports at least?
