minus-squareTranscendentalEmpire@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoWell, I mean Slovakia didn’t exactly exist as a nation during the majority colonial expansion. They were part of the austro-hungarian empire, which did participate in some colonialism, though less than most at the time.
minus-squareTheBlue22linkfedilinkarrow-up11·1 year agoYeah. We were the colonized ones to be honest. Always the lesser under the Hungarians mainly. Although calling it colonization is a bit of a stretch to be completely blunt

minus-squareTranscendentalEmpire@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year ago Although calling it colonization is a bit of a stretch Idk I think it’s pretty fitting. I just think it’s an older type of colonialism, more similar to how the ottomans typically treated their holdings.
