The joke is that we all come from Africa so they colonized the whole Earth, no ?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

I do believe that's the context, yes.

Not really despite having been invaded from north africa the spanish caliphate gained its independence after the fall of the Oumayads . then divided into smaller independent Emirates until the Spanish conquest.

Brazil was also independent after Portuguese royalty moved in and declared it a kingdom. It's still considered colony.

[–] mtchristo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By your logic even the USA is still a british colony.

[–] Phrodo_00@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I meant it was still considered a colony at the time, when it had non-brazilian rulers but was practically independent from Portugal. I hope you know Brazil hasn't been a colony for around 200 years.

You're probably right.

Akchually, the map entire world was colonized by people from Africa. Since the map shows the entire world (even New Zealand), it is accurate.
