In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

          Probably from the moment of our emancipation from England. Occupied more territory than most European states ever had at that moment.

          If you want to be pedantic about it how about when we occupied the width of an entire contenant? September 9th 1850

          We didn’t spring fully formed from Zeus’s forehead to fund the destruction of the Reich.

            I was asking from what year, decade even to what year. This is as vague as it gets. If I wanted to be pedantic I would ask what a “contenant” is. That date you mention is about California? I think you don’t get what being an empire means. It’s not having a really big country.

              So you are unaware of the goings on in the year 1776?

              How about you define empire? I’m sure Leopold II left lots of decorative plaques for you to learn about it on.

                What? Do you think becoming independent makes you an empire? Jeez, I would say stay in school and learn some fundamentals, but then again you’re in the US. This is pointless

                  Jeez I asked for a definition of empire. I’m sure that a resident of the most horrific colonial power in all history knows what it means. So tell me.

                  Edit: lol it just struck me how funny it is for a Belgian to say the USA’s hegemony will be forgotten, most living humans couldn’t even find you guys on a map.

                    And again, basic stuff. I’m not going to educate a child or someone that had education on a child’s level. Who TF knows, maybe you’ve been thought creationism in your weirdo backward country.

                    a resident of the most horrific colonial power in all history That pales in to insignificance compared to the US. You get those numbers every decade when youfeel the need to liberate another defenseless country from their resources.

        As a country. Britain, Spain, Portugal have been around for much longer as a country. That period is not as long as they have existed in the capacity or form of being an ‘empire’.

      1787 was less than 100 years ago? Because that’s when their Constitution was ratified.

      Also their revolutionary war was 1776 to 1783.

      How wrong are you willing to be?
