Empires.

British and French Crown exercising their respective imperial policies. Spanish and Portuguese too.

They were the times.

The US and some of its WWII Allies (not necessarily England if you look at Northern Ireland and India) has been the sole major force since WWII in assisting independence movements around the world.

The 19th Century policy vs the Indian peoples was merely what it was. A huge land grab with devastating consequences. But compared to the earlier Imperial ventures of the European powers, it looked a lot better (social policies of reservation etc) and its a lot better today but certainly not perfect.

Anyway Karadzic is an interesting figure for this thread. Lets leave those other things for another thread.

After all, in the Continent of Europe that prides itself on being civilized, if the allegations are true, obviously the lessons of WWII havent been learned by everyone.
