The British never really assimilated people either. Sure they set up proxy governments which mirrored their own, but nobody was ever made "British", at least not in the sense the brits would recognize.

But it is moot point, since comparing the mechanisms of Mongol and British expansionism is apples to oranges. I will stick to my earlier guns: if you want to condemn Britsh expansionism, you have to be willing to condemn all other expansionism. If not then please explain the difference (the ends, not the means) between the British (or European, since that was the original argument) and other, earlier expansionist movements.


Edit - This is really not the intent of the original post, so if you would like to start another thread I would be happy to continue there...
