An ongoing series , with art by the amazing Davide Gianfelice.

I intend to buy it when I get back home but wanted something to read on my flight.

If I was a time traveler with the intention of stopping colonialism I would gone back 100 years earlier to europe and have just given the ottomans a crate of guns and the schematics for them and told them to kill anyone with colored hair, eyes, or pale skin to the north of them.

Europeans colonized more than turtle island. Colonialism is a uniquely European thing and had they all been killed at their weakest (13th century black death) then the world would objectively be a better place. I think it would also be better to arm the ottomans over the mongols since an Islamic dominated word would be a good religion and culture to build communism off of probably more than any other religion or culture you might find in Eurasia. Mongols might be cool but East Asia might do a lesser form of colonialism if you give them the guns if Japan is anything to go by. Plus giving the Ottoman Empire guns before they conquer Istanbul would basically make you single-handedly responsible for putting the bullet into the last vestige of Rome which is also pretty based. Just imagine a society where Native American culture and Islam fusioned. It would be so enlightened.

What makes Europe particularly prone to colonialism as opposed to any other place?

Lol

Also there's a book with a premise like this called the Years of Rice and Salt. It's really good.
