<<But who say america is unified? >>

A guest !

"The asiatic descendants are incas, mayas and aztecs, and i think the inca empire (and also other native-american states) was really powerful... and ==> united...<=="

<<The conquistadores never unified America... >>

I mean unified by every conqueror. What do you think Hispanic America is now ? It was unified for 300 years!

Probably, but think in how many people wouldn't have died by all the wars and explotation caused by the US for so many years. No American natives annihilation, no slavery, then no civil war, no KKK, no need of cold war, then no Viet-nam, no Korea, etc. No oil dependence, no main polluter, then no global warming, no violent hurricans, no New Orleans, no roughts, etc. No need of controlling the world, then no atomic bombs, no need of financed hidden revolutions, then no terrorism, then no bombs, no 9/11, no Iraq invasion, etc...

You must be very glad, aren't you ?

That's bull anywhay. There's no way to know what would have happened. The world would probably be a better place, America has caused more destitution than spain. Back then spain and england were not exaclty either rich so it could have gone either way.

Good point. If the spanish did not discover America, and started to colonise it in first place, we would not have to listen to this nonsense. The Native Americans would be very happy in their lands speaking their native languages. Better thinking , if the spanish decided to stay still in front of the fire place eating paella the world would have been a better place thousand of years behind. WE have to think of this every time we eat potatoes or popcorn.

You are a nonsense spitter. The discovery HAD to happen. That is the fate of the world. People are people. The portugues were blown to south america by accident even. And even then, maybe the Aztecs would come accross and pwn europe. So think about the world then? I would be sacrificing you right now.

So what, in Iraq thousands have been sacrificed !! The difference is that invaders don't use blades and horses. Open your mind, the world have not changed much but the methods and weapons.

Please let's go back to the original topic "French vs German vs Spanish languages" and let's avoid posting messages that has something to do with politics like the US involvement in Iraq.

Gros Merci!

Also Upper New England States, Upper New York, Louisiana, Luxembourg, Guadeloupe, Marinique, Haiti, Mauritius, Reunion, Seychelles, Wallis and Futuna, Andorra and now co-official language with Spanish in Equatorial Guinea.

Widely spoken in Romania, with English/Russian in Italy, Portugal, Greece, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Israel, Bulgaria, Egypt, and Lebanon.

While Spanish is widely spoken only in the US because of the presence of Hispanic immigrants there.
