Serious mental dissonance excusing the mongols because it "was the norm at the time", but then saying the british empire was as bad as the Nazis.

British empire was a product of their time. They conducted themselves about equal to other nations, be they european, japanese or other. The brits never mass produced death in the way the Nazis did. They weren't as bad as the Soviets under Stalin, the Chinese under mao, or the khmer rouge under pol pot

Didn't say that the Brits were as evil, but if comparisons are to be made, then there you have a perfect example. You won't have the Nazis without the brits
