One of the dumbest die for democrats users on lemmy, both can’t understand why people see the usa as an empire AND refuses to see that it was what George Lucas based the empire on in star wars
Manifest Destiny…
That was over by 1850. Nobody from that time is alive today.
lol Manifest Destiny never ended, American Indians are still denied sovereignty and confined to impoverished reservations
That was over by 1850
Empires stop being Empires if they’re not actively expanding, it’s why Rome became a wholesome nation state when the Legions bedded down for the night and only became an Empire again when they started marching the next morning.
Day/night cycle theory of imperialism that holds the British were the first and only empire, as they held enough far-flung territories that it was always daytime for them somewhere, so they remained in the “empire” state long enough to capture the title like it’s a big game of king of the hill.
