why looking back so far in colonial history or try to globalize with asia/west
Most of young fans and world forums about CG in asia, EU and Middle east are looking "CG as the only good thing to come out of the Iraq oil war".
I use " " cause it isn't my words but just a translation
who have ressources and who have the nuke actually?
world situation helps creators to have the starting idea and they build around
thats simplist but that made sell well like the game "assasin" where you are a muslim assasin that kill Christians during crusades : a world hit and their creators explain well how they get the idea for this game

That said its also a false impression and its more elaborate cause the political situation in the series mirrors many occupation scenarios, even some, like one of the most hardest with Korea from 1910 to 1945, in which the Japanese were the occupying military power. Suzuku's part is especially troubling because he has decided to side with at times brutal occupaing force, a decision that many 'good' people have made in Ireland, England, Isral/Palestine, France and many other countries forced to live at the 'pleasure' of another society far, far away which may not have their best interests at heart.

All this shows that colonialism and occupations style are worldwide and have also difference like history show it but you find a bit of all of them in CG.
Thats a good starting plot for a good scenario. but after you have to find a story for 50 episode, mechas,romance,comedy,cliffhangers and fictions so you are in an animé and you have nothing to find as truth in this. Empire of Brittania is just another ZAFT but on earth
