Why people never said anything bad about british empire, but badmouthing nazi germany (third reich) allthetime?

I think you have to treat this source with a good deal of care, for example, the Gukurahundi Massacres were carried out by Zimbabwean troops trained and guided by North Korean advisors, and can hardly be laid at the feet of the British. Some of the other events listed by contributors are seen from a one sided point of view. The idea that Britain would happily let pro-Soviets or Pan-Arabists seize power in former colonies is naive.

Perhaps these people also want Somalia as an al-Qaeda safe haven. Undoubtedly the British did a great deal of shameful things during the years of Empire, and during the decolonisation period. Sometimes it was a result of official policy, and sometimes it was the actions of colonists, often deliberately flouting the law as in the 13 Colonies, early Australia, and New Zealand.

The actual authority of the Imperial Government was often quite weak. Attempts to reform the governance of New South Wales by Bligh resulted in a mutiny by the New South Wales Regiment and left him powerless. The granting of self-government to South Africa resulted in the first colonial goverment systematically reducing the rights of Coloured and Black citizens.

The first exposure of conditions in the camps in Kenya was an official report by Sir Dingle Foot, commissioned by the British Government, which resulted in their closure. The legacy of conflict between Kikuyu and Masai lives on in Kenyan politics today with the result that the new President is under indictment by the International Court. The Indonesian massacres might more accurately be laid at the door of the CIA than Britain, but it was Indonesians who carried them out, and set up the Suharto dictatorship which followed.

It was Islamic and Malay prejudice which targeted people of Christian faith and Chinese origin. There were abuses during the Malay Emergency, but rather like the Irish Troubles the civil Chinese population (in a majority Malay nation) was knowingly providing cover for the small number of terrorists. The biggest cause of death during the British Empire was famine in India.

At least in part this can be laid at the door of the economic ideology of the time, the same one which opposed interference in Ireland during the Famine there. Even within Britain itself relief was often left to private initiative and it was widely held that government intervention only made things worse. There was strong opposition to "something for nothing" which resulted in starving labourers being asked to work before gaining relief.

The actual administration was very thinly stretched and many local officers found Famine relief utterly beyond their capabilities, rather like similar famine relief efforts in Africa today. Even after the railways improved communications Free Market economics meant that grain was often exported from famine areas where the unemployed work-force had no money to purchase it. Britain imported grain from India following its own harvest failures, at a time when famine existed in several parts of India itself.

Famine was never a deliberate policy, there were always attempts to ameliorate it, but the whole approach was blinkered and prejudiced, just as it was in Ireland. People still cannot grasp that the Nazis deliberately used the term "Concentration Camp" not to signal to the world that they were setting up Death Camps, but to indicate that they were rounding up enemies of the State in relatively humane conditions. The deaths in the South African camps were due to disease from poor hygiene, something which was also devastating the British forces in South Africa, and resulted in more of them dying from disease than in combat.

Adolf Hitler liked to use British colonial practice to justify his own conquests of the Slavic peoples. It seems his followers today are still doing so. Yes, the British thought they were a superior race, an ideology which grew with the spread of Social Darwinism in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and was re-inforced by the increasing technological gap between Europe and the colonies.

This is the theme of Kiplings poem, "Take up the White Man's Burden." is a call to parentalism not to extermination of the subject races. At the same time many Britons were supporting the early independence movements and some were writing the basic anti-imperialist ideology. Anti-imperialism was never the invention of the subject peoples.

By 1945 the British Labour Party was firmly committed to letting India go as fast as possible.

Although I don't agree with the British empire I am pleased the British and in particular the RAF and the U. S air force gave Germany what it deserved, its a shame the Atom bomb wasn't ready in time to use on them, Stalin wanted to wipe out the German population but he knew the allies wouldn't allow it. I think the world would have been a better place without the Germans.

They are evil maggots ,the lot of them.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
