I am afraid I must loudly disagree. The History of the human race is
full of examples of such things. The best known from ancient history
is that of the romans. In modern history, Spain, Portugal, Holland and
France (to name just the main actors) have behaved in exactly the same
way as England, perhaps worse. The english domination of India lasted
less than 300 years, the turkish domination of the balkans lasted over
500. Moor domination of most of Spain also lasted over 500 years.
Unless these are all legitimate (when is a colonisation and exploitation
legitimate, anyway?), the above is plainly wrong.
