Falkland Islanders to hold referendum over sovereignty
It takes some real retardation to think that the British Empire was the "least brutal" colonial power; they were too busy stealing land, pushing drugs, and inventing concentration camps to have time to be nice.

That's right, just take a deep breath and point at the places on the doll.
In your defense, you might not know about this since you probably didn't learn about it in school.
The existence of armed resistance to white settlement was generally not acknowledged by historians until the 1970s. In 1968 anthropologist W.E.H. Stanner wrote that historians' failure to include Indigenous Australians in histories of Australia or acknowledge widespread frontier conflict constituted a 'great Australian silence'. Works which discussed the conflicts began to appear during the 1970s and 1980s, and the first history of the Australian frontier told from an Indigenous perspective, Henry Reynolds' The Other Side of the Frontier, was published in 1982.
You are joking, aren't you...Angola, East Timor....
I'm specifically thinking of Angola and Mozambique. The indigenous population in those colonies had more rights there than in pretty much any other African colonial empire.
Yes, I'm aware that bloody wars against communist guerrillas were fought in each. I doubt they would have succeeded were it not for bankrolling by the Soviet Union.
My reading is Portugal is amongst the worst because they did very little over very long periods of colonisation and then left suddenly in the seventies, causing many of the colonies to slide into civil war, some of which like Angola went on for decades and destroyed even the very little Portugal left behind.
The big exception here would be Brazil. It got independence quite early and on its own terms.
Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
The thing about Portugal is its government was overthrown and just pulled out of its African colonies which it had held for like 400 years. There were ethnic Portuguese people living there who had been there for generations and they just had to pack up and leave. They were the ones with the education and skills and so forth and as a result Angola and Mozambique were doomed.
The funny thing is, Portugal hasn't really gotten a lot better since that revolution either, economically speaking.
