I don't think so. The western developed a whole system of reasoning methodology, that is unique in the earth. Other cultures , China for example, only are simplly unsystemed empiricism. There is a long road to develop it by themselfs .
Is it justice to admit savages independent?

Britain had no obligation to hand over all of Hong Kong to China in 1997. Britain would have been well within her rights to keep a large part of it, and could still have had it now. For some reason, though, we just meekly gave the whole of the territory to China for no good reason. And it was then that the British Empire formerly came to an end.
They were so "oppressed" by the British that huge numbers of them fought on the side of the British AGAINST the Americans in the War of Independence.
They didn't fare too well under American and Canadian oppression, is what I think you meant to say. Just think of all the Indians butchered by the Americans and Canadians, at places such as Wounded Knee, since independence. Funnily enough, thoush, massacres like Wounded Knee are rarely mentioned by North Americans concentrating, appropriately for them, on supposed injustices against the Indians created under British rule.
Despite Rwanda gaining its independence from Belgium in 1962 and therefore becoming a member of the Francophonie in 1970, the Rwandans are, needless to say, not on very friendly terms with the French, who supported the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Tutsis by the Hutu in the 1995 Rwandan Genocide. So, in 2009, Rwanda joined the Commonwealth and its citizens have even taken up cricket. Like Afghanistan, Rwanda has recently taken a liking to cricket. Thousands of Rwandans have discovered the joins of that wonderful sport. The Rwanda cricket team became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council in 2003. Their international debut came in the African Affiliates Championship in 2004, where they finished seventh. Twenty years from now Rwanda, and maybe Afghanistan, may be a major force in world cricket. So, despite being a former Belgian colony, the Rwandans have now made their country look like a former British colony.

Yes, I support that HongKong belong to Britain. The Britain can use military forces to take back Hong Kong if necessary.Take your filthy paws off HongKong， Chinese GOVT !
That's called "the lesser of two evils." We Shawnees fought for the British because at least they had some place to go back to. The Americans clearly wanted to stay on what we considered our land.
We also fought for the French against the British in the Seven Years' War because the French were less grabby and interventionist than the British.
To claim that we fought on the British side in the War of Independence because they were wonderful people is like saying that Britain allied with the Soviet Union in WWII because they were just delighted with what a great guy Stalin was.
Stupid, in other words.
Does anyone besides me get the feeling BL posts so much idiocy just to see what kind of response he will get from people that are clearly so much smarter than him?
Well he invited his Chinese cousin to the Forum. Guess he needed help.
But not the kinda help I would want.
Hahaha. I am not his cousin. We do have some same views about history.In fact Colonism did bring civilization to the world like Holy Roman Empire did.
Matter of opinion. Also brought many diseases. Many places in the world were doing just fine without the British version of civilization.
