India and China had nothing to do with self defense... Africa and north america had nothing to do with self defense... There was no goal of freeing the yokels...

That is as much doublespeak as the crocodile fearing me because I am not virtuous but you being virtuous by killing and eating it.. how Orwellian :O)

Imposing your will for profit and your own aggrandizement is not virtue Mq...

Whether it be Aborigines, Maoris or any of the plethora of tribes in North America.. it was conquest, subjugation and murder.. plain and simple.. We'll give you little enclaves to live in... we'll give you sustenance.. we'll take away your essence and humanity ... and a few of you may become like us... It's the way of the world since the beginning... VVV is just another pig with lipstick... not to say it is any worse than others.. just more of the same.. comparing to China... as justification .. well you re making my case...

As to misleading... it states But it takes Maori revolts in 1845-7 and 1860-72 to achieve concessions such as representation in the New Zealand parliament.

what is misleading ... you say 1845 ? more VVV bafflegab again I am afraid.. ... see the range ...

and then our friend google reveals...
Maori electorates were introduced in 1867, with the first Maori elections held in the following year, during the term of the 4th New Zealand Parliament. They were intended as a temporary measure and despite numerous attempts to disestablish Maori electorates, they continue to form part of the New Zealand political landscape.

no nothing misleading .. just more VVV subterfuge and apologist behaviour on your part LOL

Britain had no hope of occupying China... that is why they did not expand.. then world events precluded it permanently... besides it was not cost effective... and those Victorians certainly knew the value of money... India's geography was different.. look at how much access by sea and the shape... Same reason they gave up on North America and besides India was economically more lucrative... not to mention they were already ceding far too much to the US.. Gave away more than half of the Oregon territory... not economically ;lucrative like India.. VVV is no more than $$$..

At any rate your VVV posts usually get a reco.. so at least you are not lonely in the delusion that Britain's goal was out to improve the lot of mankind.. Isn't that the same touted premise for the expansion of Islam (another member of your virtue page :O) from say 800 AD on ? to bring eternal life to the non believers :O)

By Gad, sir, you are a character. There's never any telling what you'll say or do next, except that it's bound to be something astonishing.
