AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@popmol size wise the are tiny . Population wise the are tiny. Size doesn’t matter. . Ask a Mongolian.

@AthrillatheHunt why?
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@popmol their country is huge land wise, like Brazil
popmol · 26-30, M
@AthrillatheHunt true but they did produce Genghis khan
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@popmol At least the were at one point a super power .
Waveney · 41-45, M
@AthrillatheHunt So were tiny countries like Greece, Belgium, Portugal, and of course the UK.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Waveney not even all of Greece , just Macedonia. Like I said in my original reply , size doesn’t matter . (And you left off Spain ). I wouldn’t have Belgium on the list IMO.
Waveney · 41-45, M
@AthrillatheHunt Spain is relatively big compared to some of those countries, as is France.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Waveney smaller in size and population than England. I’m pretty sure
Waveney · 41-45, M
@AthrillatheHunt It has a smaller population but is significantly bigger than the UK, let alone England
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Waveney imma check that out
Waveney · 41-45, M
@AthrillatheHunt Still, I get your point.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Waveney youre absolutely right as far as land size goes .
Waveney · 41-45, M
@AthrillatheHunt Belgium controlled large areas of West Africa. Including the Congo which was essentially the personal fiefdom of King Leopold.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Waveney I’d call that a regional power , not superpower. The Dutch were an economic superpower for several centuries.
Waveney · 41-45, M
@AthrillatheHunt Well anyway, I get your point :)
popmol · 26-30, M
@Waveney hey belgian mention!
@AthrillatheHunt i kinda agree but also disagree,
economic superpower with its many harbours definitely!
but most of the resources from africa we had control over were personal to the king.
like not owned by belgium if i'm right about my history lessons from over 10 years ago!
