      Los imperios ” coloniales” surgen todos en el xix, más que nada porque el colonialismo como lo entendemos  como sistema economico no existía hasta esa fecha.

      Así que en todo caso, como mucho 150 años.  

      ” Lo de America” es un imperio a “secas”

      Dudo que para el final la presencia española en el Sahara se pueda considerar colonial teniendo en cuenta que estaban en estado de provincia y que con total probabilidad de haberse mantenido, hubiera sido su propia comunidad autónoma

      Sadly the sahara people just got a new overlord instead of being free, and a worse overlord in a lot of ways if we trust the reports of human rights violations by marocco even on modern times

      The way we abandoned our fellow citizens is something to be truly ashamed of, but cannot be understood without the unconditional support of Morocco by the US.
