Maybe the germans had the same excuse?

This is a reason that has been given for centuries to justify invading and occupying countries.

But if you're in favor of colonization then you won't have an issue with this scene. It precisely what I said before: it's ok if Moroccans get invaded and occupied, but french shouldn't, because white/christian/civilized/european/developed/ {insert favorite keyword here}



I would be fine for the French to be invaded and occupied by a superior civilisation, if in the long run helped their advancement as well.

But actually and tangibly superior, not as was the case with Germany for example, where both countries were in a similar level of evolution
