Should all those in Europe be able to sue Italy for being conquered by the Roman Empire?
India sue the UK for being colonized?
Mexico sue the US for snatching California?
Mozambique sue Portugal?
Brazil sue Portugal?
Mexico sue Spain?
Cuba sue Spain?
Ivory Coast sue France?
All of North Africa and the middle east sue Iran for being absorbed into the Persian Empire?
Absolute ****ing death at anybody seeing this as anything other than pure lunacy

That's dumb.
Rome =/= Italy
Persian Empire =/= Iran
But India should definitely sue England. They fought long and hard for their independence. They didn't win their independence until 1947....

They should be compensated and they have been asking for England to pay reperations.
All African countries should sue their colonisers tbh. All of these civil wars in West and Central Africa are directly related to European colonisation. Europe left Africa in shambles, destroyed it's borders and turned different ethnic groups against each other. You should do some research on this because some African countries didn't win their independence until the 70's. Apartheid didn't end until 1992.
Europe has changed since the 1800's, but they're still the same countries. England would not be the superpower it is today if it weren't for colonisation and slavery, same for all the other European countries that colonised and enslaved millions of people.
The Persian Empire and the Roman Empire paid for their mistakes with their downfall. There's nothing left from those times.

Exactly.
