    So I checked Wikipedia

    Show me a conflict within the borders of the Ottoman Empire that killed more people than the Napoleonic Wars.

    I know it’s easier to blame everything on the US

    Trying to explain to the judge that blaming Jeffrey Dahmer for all those bodies in the fridge is the easy answer and the jury needs to approach things more critically.

    I mean, if it makes you feel any better, the blame falls off the US once you spin the clock back before McKinley. The societal collapse during the 17th and 18th centuries are largely a consequence of imperial policies of England, France, and Spain.
