The only innovation there is the "Atlantic" part. Stop pretending like it was something new and uniquely horrible.



I think the criticism here is that Iberian history is not uniquely better rather than claiming it's uniquely worse.

(I'm British, so I'm not going to claim less-awful-than-thou against any nation).


If you agree with that innovation, you also seem to agree with me that the spanish were in fact involved with slavery, as opposed to what the person I replied to said. Not sure where you saw me "pretend" about anything, I just presented facts and a wikipedia article.
