Ottomans missing in 20th century
In the last sentence of 20th century the Ottoman Empire is missing:
Outside Europe, few areas had remained without coming under formal colonial tutorship – and even Siam, China, Japan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Persia, and Abyssinia had felt varying degrees of Western colonial-style influence
Pejorative word?
Currently, there is no mention that a significant percentage of people, whether academics or not, consider the term "colonialism" to have very strong negative connotations, and even colonizers rarely refer to themselves using this word. Shouldn't this be included in the lead? Aim551551551 (talk) 20:57, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
Editing on Examples of Settler Colonial States
Hi, for the examples of currently existing settler colonial states, some inconsistencies exist, as while the settler colonial region of northern ireland is seperate from the non settler colonial Britain, examples are given such as China and Russia, which should specify their settler colonial regions specifically (siberia / north caucasus for russia and west xinjiang / tibet for china) as neither state is entirely a settler colony, similar to the UK. Additionally, taiwan and the Andaman islands should also be included as modern settler states, as they are considered such in other articles, such as the wiki page for settler colonialism for Taiwan. Lastly, latin american states beyond river plate could be considered settler states as well. OliveLotusArePrettyCool (talk) 07:04, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
