I do remember when my country Slovakia colonised Africa, good times /s
Well, I mean Slovakia didn't exactly exist as a nation during the majority colonial expansion. They were part of the austro-hungarian empire, which did participate in some colonialism, though less than most at the time.
Yeah. We were the colonized ones to be honest. Always the lesser under the Hungarians mainly.
Although calling it colonization is a bit of a stretch to be completely blunt
