Yeah, that's true, but at least in most cases the colonies in question had been in place a few thousand years. We've only been on this continent for the past 400.

But who's accomplished so much.

[Louis XXIV]

Carthage was a powerful nation that had cities in Spain, Africa, and other places (This was the time of city-states, so Carthage and its colonies were as much a civilization as Greece)
