      Well, 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.

        Yeah. 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

          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.
