The mango smoothie was a nice touch. Anyone else think he mixed it with a half dozen tablespoons of sugar?

that^ is mine, unfortunately...didn't vote for her fucking crazy ass, send her constant letters telling her how she's fucking up,
of course all i get back is form letters.
going to vote against her again, but the crazy fucking rednecks will probably elect her again. it's like living with people who like to cut themselves, then tell each other what a good job they're doing

When did the British invade the Commonwealth of Australia?
pre-Commonwealth, the term country does not apply.
also, “by British military in a larger alliance” is not the same as by Britain.

But yet we have a welcome to country at lots of political and sporting events. https://www.indigenous.gov.au/contact-us/welcome_acknowledgement-country
The continent was (and is) a distinct territorial land mass.
The country was also divided up into distinct areas (and sometimes language) with different leaders and politics.
So by wiki's definition a Country. Perhaps lots of countries at one point before the british invaded.
Country - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Country
A country is a distinct territorial body, a state, nation, or other political entity. It may be a sovereign state or make up one part of a larger state.

Aboriginal Australia was not a country in the sense of a nation. I reject the other as jesuitry.

Still lots of countries making up one nation that was invaded by the British.

describe the seat of national government, then.
The US in pre-European days was hundreds of nations. A few, like the Iroquois, federated. But as there was no unitary national authority: neither nation nor country.
Your meme lies.

meme was simply stating countries not invaded by Britain. All of the countries that made up the nation that is now called Australia was invaded by the British.
Its why we have a Welcome to Country indigenous acknowledgement at most political and sporting events. Its not a welcome to the whole of Australia but a welcome to the particular country that is in the above map of Aboriginal countries.
What are 3 examples of a nation?
A nation is a large group of people who inhabit a specific territory and are connected by history, culture, or another commonality.
Id say that makes the continent of countries a nation well before White man. In fact as the oldest living culture on earth its a very special one.

The Bavarians and Texans notwithstanding, countries are subnational. Why does the map of Australia not show that then? It beggars belief that Britain militarily invaded the thousand of them.

furthermore, Britain never once mounted military expeditions into México or Colómbia. At least, a search turned up nothing in either case. British troops fought Spain on what is now Colómbian territory; not a qualifying event since the opponent was Spain.
Anyway, enough of this weasel wrestling.

I have no idea about Mexico's history but this came up on a search. Why did France Spain and England invade Mexico? The French intervention in Mexico, initially supported by the United Kingdom and Spain, was a consequence of Mexican President Benito Juárez's imposition of a two-year moratorium of loan-interest payments from July 1861 to French, British, and Spanish creditors. Invassion? IDK. Not my call and really doesn't matter. But you seem bored and argumentative. I hope your day gets better. |
