    I’m Spanish and I remember how “clean” they made it look. In particular, I was curious about they saying the natives had “semi-slavery”. Jokingly I asked of they were slaves but had weekends off, but the answer was “they were slaves, but had names”.

          uh huh, cuz our school is the only right one comrade lmao

          it’s really easy to tell if what you’re reading is history or propaganda (or, in more mild terms, a biased view perspective projection). Scientific history doesn’t operate in the “who’s the wrong one?” realm of questions, purely studying the context, as the casuality chain of any historical event can be traced back up to the big bang if you ever so wanted to. Callng any side to be wrong is inherently political.
