I did my calculations and I was surprised when I discovered that during the period Imperialism in the late nineteenth century, Europe took more than 23 million square kilometers, about one fifth of the Earth's surface, ie 20% of the planet was in the hands of the imperialists. Only Africa was divided as follows: the United Kingdom was allocated 30%, France 15%, Germany 9%, Belgium and Italy 7% 1%.
Nigeria alone contributed 15,000,000 individuals for the development of empires. Take for example Germany, which became the third African colonial power, to take over 2.6 million square kilometers, incorporating into their empire over 14,000,000 million unhappy.
Clearly, the imperialist states did a good business and because of that reached the stage of development and currently hold with pride at the expense of the misery of millions of exploited. How much will the debt of these ancient empires to the American countries, Africans and Asians? Apart from the moral debt that is not resolved with a simple pardon, I think there is a big commitment economic.
Nobody wants to remember the dark passages
clearly how they would develop in the future, African, American and Asian countries, where for centuries they were snatched from their countries to bring young people as slaves to other latitudes? (Estimated, according to my research among youth and children 100.000.00). Add to the above, it will sweep the wicked settlers did much of the hidden treasures in the bowels of the land and a coveted commodity.
ended up with cultures
In the worst cases, many of these empires ended the advanced culture of the conquered peoples, together with such barbarism, the disappearance of millions of men and women and whole peoples. But it seems that nobody wants to remember those dark passages of those "civilized countries" were considered the superior race, with the divine right to expropriate what is not theirs. Perhaps, for that entitlement that they arrogated to himself the U.S. President William H. Talf said in 1912:
"is not far off the day when three Stars and Stripes flags pointing at three sites equidistant sampling extension territory: one at the North Pole, another at the Panama Canal and the third at the South Pole. Throughout the hemisphere will be ours in fact and by virtue of our superiority, it is our moral "(emphasis added).
The obstinate politician also said:
"... no way precludes an active intervention to ensure our merchandise and our capitalists facilities for beneficial intervention."
(The above text was taken from the book "Anthology of Stupidity" by the same author of this essay.)
Therefore it is clear, the concept of nationality is conceived as an adjective is very fickle, somewhat inconsistent and subject to a number of situations.
Did most Venezuelans are not opting for a European passport and the nationality of their parents or grandparents? No doubt, this concept is purely administrative, related to legal proceedings. It is so obvious that other legal requirements a person can change his nationality, inclusive, have dual citizenship or not accepted as legal regulations of each nation. Venezuelan It is a geographical and not feeling, this will be forged over time after many generations after ours bearing the adjective and Leguen to your heirs as a way of behaving. We are a recent and the Venezuelan nation is not rooted in national and even more so when our middle class has a large component of immigrants whose descendants were not incorporated into our emerging and hybrid culture.
several Venezuelans
nationality must be understood not as an administrative, but a sentiment linked to the cultural values \u200b\u200bof a nation. And being connected to cultural values \u200b\u200bis to know their music, food, dancing, history, language, mythology, among other things that should define nationality. To be more specific, in the case of Venezuela, there is no one in Venezuela, but several: an Oriental has a different culture from a resident saw a maracucho is completely different from Caracas, a Guyanese behaves differently with respect a native of the Sierra de Falcón ... so these differences are determined by the make of each people and is what unites the land of their ancestors.
Therefore, I think, the Venezuelan nationality should be a combination of cultures that have a history, language and values, which change over time due multiple circumstances. The letter highlights the numerous accidents prior social, political and economic causes nationalities are dynamic and not static entities.
