Revolution, Maple Leafs, Chrysanthemes and the Eagle made me think of colonialism in the Victoria era. Are there any examples where the European powers could have been more enlightened in their colonial policies? Think of how the British in OTL treated the Maori compared to Australian aborigines. Or their policy in Botswana vs. elsewhere. The alt-example I always bring up is a different fate for the Zulu.
I was going to make a counterpart thread in Post-1900 about a better enlightened decolonization policy, but now I realize that would be even more difficult, as the damage has been done.
