[quote=Anonymous]I would be very interested to know her personal thoughts on what this thread is arguing about. The world has changed a lot since she became queen in 1953. She was also only 25ish at the time and had not received much of an advanced education--she was educated at home, never attended university. Due to the war, she didn't really get to have "care free" teen years. I would love to sit down with her and just listen to her own thoughts about colonialism and how or if these thoughts changed over the years and if she believed in reparations, etc. I think the conversation in this thread has a lot of black and white thinkers. The British (and other powers) were only able to accomplish colonialism by taking advantage of divisions that already existed within those society's power structures. There were domestic winners in the new colonial power structures, not just losers. What is their responsibility in being complicit with a foreign power?[/quote]
