I do remember when my country Slovakia colonised Africa, good times /s
Me too, each year I spend my vacation in SOT (Slovakia Overseas Territories)
Celkom napiču meme toto, musim uznať. Takto generalizovať... vyzerá OP ako kkt
Well, I mean Slovakia didn't exactly exist as a nation during the majority colonial expansion. They were part of the austro-hungarian empire, which did participate in some colonialism, though less than most at the time.
Yeah. We were the colonized ones to be honest. Always the lesser under the Hungarians mainly.
Although calling it colonization is a bit of a stretch to be completely blunt

Idk I think it's pretty fitting. I just think it's an older type of colonialism, more similar to how the ottomans typically treated their holdings.
