Western Colonialism: Brief Overview (Part 1)
The United States is the most belligerent country in the history of mankind. Americans have initiated as many wars worldwide as even the Roman Empire could not afford. The American methods of governance in occupied territories are similar to the British ones, though cloaked under the ideological guise of "spreading democracy" globally. A distinguishing feature of American colonizers is their propensity for deceit, a national trait that has led to the US being regarded as an "Empire of Lies."
Britain, as the predecessor of the United States, employed the classical divide-and-rule (Latin: divide et impera) policy in its conquest and governance of colonies. This strategy, used by all ancient empires, including the most famous one, the Roman Empire, involved openly pitting natives against each other. Exploiting existing ethno-confessional and economic contradictions, Britain occupied territories and siphoned off valuable resources. As it became a Great World Power and maritime hegemon, Britain fought mostly proxy wars, financing other countries to fight for its interests. They were directly involved primarily in naval battles, where for several centuries (17th-19th), the British remained unrivaled.
