It is a very well-known fact that from the 15th century onwards, an assorted coalition of White Colonialists, Missionaries, Imperialists and Conquistadors from Europe plundered, raped, pillaged, conquered and converted wherever they set foot on earth.
In five hundred years, they destroyed most of the Indigenous Cultures in North America, South America, Africa, Australia and parts of Asia. An estimated 1 billion people are said to have lost their lives due to the wars and genocides committed by the White Man. Another estimated 1.5 billion have converted to Christianity at the edge of a sword or a gun.

It was not just the English but also the French, Germans, Dutch, Belgians, Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians, and the Danes who set up hundreds of slave colonies across the world in their absolute greed for Gold, Glory and God. Africans, Indians, Native Americans, Chinese and others were sold at their markets and bazaars.

Five hundred years ago, White People or Cauc"Asians" were only living in Europe; sometimes fighting amongst themselves, sometimes coming together under the Papal umbrella to fight crusades against the Islamic Jihadis or just to protect Christian pilgrim caravans to Jerusalem.
Today, they live in North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica.
They are now preparing to land on other planets and moons in the solar systems !! I wonder who or what they will plunder on those desolate icy cold rocks !!
The history of Caucasians from 1 ACE to 1500 ACE is replete with internal rivalries, debauchery, backstabbing and plagues. Then from the 15th century onwards, white folks somehow started closing ranks under various treaties including Westphalia not just to stop fighting amongst themselves but to "civilize" the so-called “backward” cultures and civilizations of the world !!
They then set out “voyaging” the world in the quest for riches and loot. Their benefactors were the Church and various Kingdoms who had to find an excuse to keep their internal dissent at bay.

The Europeans somehow slowed down this worldwide plunder in the early 20th century when maybe there was nowhere else to physically conquer. By that time, they had enough clones and wannabe Whiteman “gentlemen” embedded in each of the remnant cultures and societies to perpetuate their indirect rule anyway.
This loosely tied White Coalition which had collectively looted the world for over four centuries then began to break away from their own internal treaties and began fighting amongst themselves.
For the first 2 world wars, they identified the Germans, Italians, Turks, and the Japanese as the proverbial lambs to be sacrificed at the altar of their new brainchild- A "progressive, democratic, liberal world".
They then waged ghastly world wars, used atom bombs, and proceeded to divide the world into a jigsaw puzzle under the echo chamber called the #UnitedNations. After the world war, it was the Russians who were then identified as the eternal enemy for a while. In the past thirty years, it was the Chinese and the Muslims. In the next century or so, it will be the Indians, Chinese, Muslims, and everyone else who dare to question their hegemony and machinations.
What is devastating is that the descendants of those Medieval European Barbarians have no remorse or regret as to what their illustrious ancestors did to the Natives of all continents.
Infact, they celebrate Columbus, Cook, Cortes, Albuquerque, Alvarado, Almagro, Orellana, Villagra, Aragon, De Leon and a litany of mass plunderers whose achievements can any day put ISIS, Al Qaida, Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao and other more recent butchers to shame !
Not just celebrate; Statues are built in their honor; special holidays are declared to commemorate the plunder and decrees issued to celebrate their barbaric achievements in perpetuity.
However, in today's world, White men are finding that their narratives, their technologies, their ideas, and their own history is being challenged by everyone and that there is a massive resurgence in Indigenous and Native Traditions. Everywhere they go they are being shown the mirror and their sophisticated cunning and manipulative behavior unmasked.
They are finding that the remnants of the Old World are not like the #Incas, #Aztecs, #Africans, #NativeAmericans or #Aborigines. The Old World is Fighting Back against Oppression and for their very survival.
Disclaimer: There are many White Men and Women who do not ascribe to Manifest Destiny or Racial superiority or Christian Evangelism, but they have no voice. They are mute spectators to the majority who have never been questioned by anyone in the world. My best wishes to this small minority within the Whites who are trying their hand in reforming the bacteria of superiority complex and finding a cure to the Virus of Racism that is ensconced in their society.
On a funny note, The Colonial Caucasians of yore would be uncannily similar to the "ALIENS" in the movie #IndependenceDay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlawibQ_QKI
Watch How the US President (Actor Bill Pullman) describes Aliens as those who go from one planet to the other by destroying the local population. Uncanny isn’t it ?
