Me descojono, jajajaja, tu vives en un universo paralelo chico, si, fuisteis muy buenos con los nativos brasileños, por eso exterminasteis a las tribus ribereñas cercanas a los asentamientos costeros, por no hablar del comercio de esclavos, ¿o es que el color le cambió al nativo brasileño por tomar el sol en la playa? 

Eu sou descojono, hahaha, você mora em um universo paralelo chico, sim, você era muito bom com os nativos brasileiros, por isso você exterminou como tribus ribeirinhas perto dos assentamentos costeiros, para no mencionar o tráfico de escravos, ou é que a cor Ele mudou o nativo brasileiro para tomar banho de sol na praia?

That's why there are no natives in South America and the North is full of them.

  Yo no te odio, la mitad de lo que digo es solo roleplay, es el viejo sentimiento de los portugueses después de la muerte del rey D Sebastián y la pérdida de la independencia que dejó un gran amargo en la boca.

 Tengo que reconocer que las colonias portuguesas no siempre foran pacíficas, pero en los estados de la historia cuentan que eran menos violentas que la españolas. Hasta en las películas ustedes siempre son los malos. 😜

 En cuanto a la nación española en el juego, podré jugar en vuestra nación en el futuro. Me gustaría experimentar más naciones y España no está excluida.

 Alucard, espero que no haya más resentimiento entre nosotros, ya es hora de olvidar esta rivalidad antigua, después de todo, esto es sólo un juego.

 

 Saludos y buenos vientos

It was not stolen because back in those days that territory was Spain. The same Spain as Madrid (our capital) because ,just for your information, territories in America or wherever were treated as part of the Spanish Kingdom, and that goes also for all the people living there. They were spanish citizens by all rights.

Exactly it was/is full of valuable goods stolen from the indigenous Natives.

 

Read above.

Spain's "ownership" was established via one of the greatest mass violations of fundamental human rights in history, I don't think Spain wants to claim its baggage from this era. If they take responsibility for this cargo, they should also take should take responsibility for the agony and genocide they inflicted on the indigenous people of central and South America which allowed them to acquire that gold. 

That's one of the most annoying posts I've read for a long time. You just have no idea of what you are talking about. 

1- First mistake: you look back to 1492 with XXI century eyes. If you want to build an empire, you don't always build it by talks, do you? Sometimes you can talk and reach agreements and sometimes you simply don't, so the power of war speaks instead. The vikings, the romans, all civilizations did it in the past, ALL. Not only Spain, no, ALL. 

2- "Greatest mass violations of fundamental human rights in history". ------> I can only LOL at this sentence. 

What violations? Do you know that the majority of indigenous people in America were actually colonised without firing a single shot? With what army could Spain have commited those violations that you talk of? Do you really know how many soldiers had Spain at that time in America? No, you clearly don't know because it's easier to say that they commited a genocide without a single evidence.

First, for your information, there were tribes in America at that time that were slaughtering others even with cannibalism, religious sacrifices and that kind of civilized behaviour.

Isabel of Castile wanted that all the people in those territories were considered spaniards the same way a man from Madrid is, she granted them rights of ownership for their lands and ordered that they MUST be treated well, paid for their work (YES, paid for their work, you've read it right: paid for their work) and that they were free people, not slaves. All this was created in Las Leyes de Burgos in 1512 -----> google it

In 1532 Carlos I banned slavery in any circumstance. 

In 1542 the "encomiendas" were banned.

Felipe II ordered this: from now on you will punish with greater rigor the Spaniards who injure, offend or mistreat the Indians, than if the same crimes were committed against the Spaniards.  NOW, TELL ME WHERE AND WHEN ANOTHER COUNTRY DID THIS IN FAVOUR OF COLONISED PEOPLE, DO IT PLEASE.

In 1542 Spain created the "protector de indios (indegenous protector), which was a legal figure to protect and ensure well-being for the native people.

I can carry on explaining more things that Spain did but I don't feel like doing it. You'd better read more books.

The real problem Spain had was that the indigenous people were not prepared to dealing with european diseases and in fact, those diseases killed a lot of people and NOT THE SPANISH, YOU IGNORANT.

"Spain enslaved and murdered millions of natives while stealing their land, in the name of religion and profit" ------> You should read above .

Spain didn't kill and enslaved millions of natives. Diseases did, and slavery was banned in 1532 so your point is wrong.

Every empire commits, commited and will commit excesses. Nothing new here, but in the case of Spain all the british propaganda is absolutelly bullshit.

In fact, you should know that 80% of wealth remained in America. It's know as the "quinto del rey" (1/5 for the king). 

So, that land was rich in gold and other materials but those materials were not being exploited, because they didn't know they had any value.

Spain went there, knew the value, and as part of the Spanish Kingdom did use those materials to create wealth and well-being for the people. Only 20% of wealth actually came to Spain.

Spain created universities, hospitals, roads, cities, everything....Man, some of those cities were richer than the capital...

Now, tell me what empire did this like Spain?

So, do you deny that Spain exploited and enslaved the indigenous peoples of the Americas? Or does it not count if it's part of "encomienda"? I'm an American and make no mistake we have a blood stained history too, my comments are not meant to demean Spain. But to outright deny any wrongdoing by Spain is revisionism.

You should read above too. Encomiendas were banned in 1542.

Stolen?. Evidently you do not know the History of Humanity. Empires there have been a thousand, starting with Mesopotamia to the current Economic Empire that dominates the world. If this is not worth it, I will tell you that through Spain passed Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims and the last empire that passed through Spain the French Empire of Napoleon. And we have not accused any of robbing us. Simplicely we know that for good or bad, this is how the History of Humanity has been made. By the way, those you say "stolen" were also empires that "stole" other peoples of America. Who is free from guilt, who throws the first Stone.

 Hold on there, portuguese acted differently from the spanish, you can't put both in the same bag. While the spanish used violence against the Aztecs, Incas and Mayas to get gold, the portuguese used a friendly aproach to brasillian natives with trade agreements and gifts (mirrors, spoons, etc... things they had never seen).

Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas
(Seville, 1474 - Madrid, 1566) Spanish religious, defender of the rights of the indigenous people at the beginning of the colonization of America. 
Moved by the abuses of the Spanish settlers towards the Indians and by the gradual extinction of these, Bartolomé de Las Casas undertook a campaign since then to defend the human rights of the Indians; to set an example, he began by renouncing himself to the encomienda granted him by the governor of Cuba, denouncing the Castilian institution as a form of covert slavery of the Indians (1514). The ideas of Las Casas were echoed in the metropolis, where around 1540 the debate broke out over the titles with which Spain exercised dominion over the Indies. The revision of the Indian legislation dates from the same period, with the adoption of the so-called New Laws (1542-43), in which some Lascasian points of view were reflected: the consideration of the Indians as free men who could not be enslaved nor submitted to painful work and the prohibition of creating new encomiendas, dissolving immediately those of ecclesiastics and royal officials.

That is the abuse and violence of the Spaniards on the American Indians. Protected by law their rights as people since the mid-sixteenth century. Of course there were abuses among the Spanish colonizers towards the indigenous people, something that has always been denounced, but it is already well of black legend. By the way Cabral, Portugal was one of the countries that more slaves took from Africa to Portugal and later to the New World. Do not want to get out on a tangent.

Actualy GB was first to abolish the act of slavery in 1807,  although the use of slaves in their colonies stopped in 1822.  Portugal was earlier in 1761 however carried on the use of slaves in their African colonies until 1869, following a treaty between United States and Britain for the suppression of the slave trade.  The charter of 19 September 1761 did not abolish slavery in Portugal, it prohibited the transportation of slaves from the empire (Africa, Asia, America) into the kingdom (Portugal).

 So technically yes Portugal was first to stop transportation to Portugal itself, although use of slaves within colonies carried on later than those of GB.

Pick an Empire, any Empire, you will see exactly the same allegations laid against them all. Violations against human rights, what human rights? The Empires did not have any form of human rights legislation as we know them. Some Empires did make efforts in that direction, within the context of the times they were enabled they were progressive and the basis of todays human rights legislation. Even the US Constitution, which is still an enlightened document in many respects (as is Magna Carta upon which the Constitution is based), said categorically slaves were chattel's, property to be disposed of as their owners decreed with none of the equality it clearly espoused . it was a product of it's times, moulded by the culture of it's time, and not as todays politically correct would have us believe, a means to keep slaves in their place. The tribes of Africa did more to perpetrate slavery than any Empire, they abducted neighboring tribes to sell into slavery yet the Empires are the villains. The Royal Navy was chasing down slavers for years before the importation of slaves to the Caribbean and continental U.S. was banned, and Wilberforce's slavery bill is generally ignored by the PC brigades.

Then of course we have Genocide, Many indigenous populations were all but wiped out by diseases like smallpox, in the time when the European's were carving out their Empires there was little knowledge of how smallpox was transmitted, no Vaccines either, so is it not more likely that this particular tragedy played out through Ignorance rather than a deliberate policy like Manifest Destiny? Even today Genocide is rife, African tribes still try to wipe each other out, yet, the big bad Empires are held responsible, despite tribal feuds that have dated back for millennia. 

Exploration was an expensive venture, substantial capital was invested and a return on that investment was expected, many South American cultures had no use for gold, silver and some other minerals, it held no meaning to them, so how can you exploit a people out of minerals they hold no interest in? The same holds true today, drug companies invest trillions in new drugs, often they are as dangerous as the diseases they combat and are sold at immense profit, often denying the product to those who need it the most. I wonder which philosophy is worse?

Mankind has not changed, merely shifted focus from making a profit from territory they have conquered to controlling lifestyle choices, one day, those who are trying to force lifestyle changes will stand as condemned as the old Empires are, it is easier to lay blame, to keep old grievances burning, than to make a real effort to solve problems, Carrie Nation practiced Eugenics, as did Germany post Weimar Republic, Eugenics does not work, the Prohibition of  alcohol alongside tobacco in the 1930's and World War II proved it beyond doubt, yet, here we are in the 21st century making the very same mistakes, such is human nature.   

France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Portugal, Italy, and Great Britain all held Colonies or Empires, all had differing methods of control, all have blood on their hands, all have done right and wrong, but it was done within the culture and context of their specific times, not the culture or times we have now, for today we no longer bully or persecute countries we conquered as Rome did, but our own people, is the 21st century culture any better, or different, than the old Empires? Perhaps in a hundred years we too will stand damned, as the men and nations who created the great Empires are damned today.
