你如何看待西方國家拒絕對殖民活動道歉？

西方國家在新航路開闢後，瘋狂對外殖民擴張，對亞非拉國家進行殘酷的屠殺，掠奪。但現在歐洲自認為反省歷史，卻為何拒絕道歉?

本人從來沒有覺得歐美有集體反省的意願，只是一部分進步學著的想法，更何況道歉就意味著賠償，再加上歐美除了尖船利炮外，最有用的就是「人權」「普世價值」了，道歉不就意味著引火燒身嗎？

再說，人家嘴大，掌握國際輿論，沒壓力誰道歉，更何況人家還是殖民的受益者。就連文物追討定的時間是人家搶完後的時間。別說道歉了，就連搶別人的東西都不願意歸還，還提出文明是屬於全人類的，放在我們這裡更安全的謬論，關鍵是中國的知識分子還買帳。歐美是現在世界各國掌權知識分子心靈上崇拜的聖地，這個年齡段的知識分子、文化屆人物很多都是國殤派，要想從內心深處站起來恐怕需要到90後上台了。

我覺得很正常。如果有人要求中國為其歷史上對周邊政權的擴張道歉，我們肯定會覺得很荒謬。

首先自古以來征服戰爭就沒有錯，是勇武的表現，羅馬和蒙古都是有名的劊子手，照樣受喜愛和懷念。弱者不反抗就沒有發言權。現在看亞洲的被殖民國家經濟很少有比殖民時代好的，說明西方帶來的是先進的管理經驗，而當地的本土文化早已不適應時代發展。與其問責別人曾經做過什麼，不如考慮為什麼當下自己還沒有做什麼。資源稀缺的日本從閉關鎖國依然可以避免被殖民走上學習西方的道路，為什麼其他國家做不到？

這個殘酷的世界啥時候好到強者給弱者道歉了？

題主醒醒別睡了

西方國家從來沒有反省。如果今天的中國沒有核武器和世界第二強的軍事實力，新的鴉片戰爭早已上演。

I am quite sure I have read such things hundreds of times without ever really stopping to think much about them, but this time I did, though I almost have less time for such denialists spreading pervasive misinformation who are in desperate need to lock themselves in a room never to be seen again.

Actually, none of those genocidal atrocities were committed by settlers. None, literally. Going off the strict definition of genocide as to deliberately annihilate an ethnic group, that was never a feature of colonialism. That is not to say bad things did not happen, the worst things that happened were the Conquistadors who were little more than pirates, and King Leopolds reign over the Belgian Congo which was one if the few times Europeans took the stereotypical "exploitative" path. In both of these cases, however, the objective was to support entrepreneurship utilizing ubiquitous endemic warfare ubiquitous among petty warlords and tribes in these Third-world "countries", not to massacre.

Colonial ventures did not actually think in terms of manifest destiny or world domination, but to them it was just another investment. And as you might expect, some men on all sides were more honest than others, and conflicts of interest occurred.

I recall one incident where the Mexicah (Aztecs) were hosting a party for some Conquistadors. Cortez had already made the diplomatic arrangements and was personal friends with the Aztec leadership, so he eased the uneasiness the Spaniards had about partying with an exotic people who practiced daily human sacrifice. The dinner went great until the Spaniards found out the most recent human sacrifices were the main course. The Spaniards blocked the doors and killed them all, both men and women and children. Afterwards they set on an agenda of ending these pagan practices. And that should tell you all you need to know about the Spanish Conquest of Mexico.

Certainly crimes were committed in the example aforementioned, but massacre/genocide, mass rape and property expropriation were never approved or acquiesced.

The ironic bit was the only genocides committed as an indirect result of colonialism saw ethnic European minorities as the victims. All of these took place in Africa during civil wars in places like Angola, Congoes, Rhodesia, etc..

Sorry to spoil the party, but historical facts never live up to ideologies.

從文明的角度看，西方國家是殖民的主要兇手，亞洲、拉丁美洲這是主要受害者。道歉是根據現在社會的主流價值為依據。西方學者普遍認為西方的力量在1900年達到頂峰，隨即開始下降，西方的興起用了400年的時間，所以預計西方衰落的時間也預計用時400年。從現在來看，西方有兩個圖景。一個擁有和操縱著國際主流市場、貨幣、國際機構、教育、軍事、高科技。另一個是西方的相對力量，包括軍事和經濟等相比於亞洲，尤其是東亞相對衰落，但是有其龐大的體量的基礎，現在國際上主流的價值觀，影響力方面還是由西方掌控。那麼在西方主導的價值觀裡面為什麼要為自己的在他們眼裡看起來「正確」的行為道歉呢？

在殖民南方的過程中，漢族殺了很多苗瑤族人，有人道歉過嗎？因為我們的祖先道德觀和現在不一樣，因此，西方人也不必為祖先買單

因為這是必然的歷史過程，不分出高低，怎麼能見誰更優秀？玩這些臉皮厚，智商低，愛吹牛就能進步？

自有人類以來，有道歉的先例么？中原跟雲南廣西道歉了么？

西方價值觀向來是把自己的繁榮興盛建立在別的種族累累白骨之上。不剝削不是西方人，轉起來！鐵子

西方國家對內法治，對外就搞兩面派。利益使命循環。

我問你一個問題

鴉片戰爭誰打的

火燒圓明園誰弄的

洋垃圾們來中國是幹什麼

他們眼裡

沒有做客

只有征服
