Talk:Chronology of colonialism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] This is as biased as colonialism

The first colonies in the entier history of the world where not made in 1481. There have been many empires that have had colonies . One footnote says that the west is not the only people to colonise "ONE!" . As i say on the colonialism talk page this representation of history boarders on Racism. This is highly POV where is the ottoman empire, ethiopian or aztec empires.Hypnosadist 14:59, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Please refer to Colony and Colonisation for other examples of colonialism. This chronology and the main colonialism article relate to the European colonization which started in the 15th century. One Wikipedia page can't possibly include the Aztec Empire with the Ottomans and with the Scramble for Africa, this would have no sense at all. I am more than surprised at being accused of racism insofar as my contributions to this chronology, the colonialism article or the scramble for Africa can hardly be called racist! Refraining from hasty judgments might be a good idea. Cheers! Lapaz 20:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
