Considering the Arab empire, the Ottoman empire, the Japanese Empire to name a few a European can name, I would believe that Empire, slavery and colonies are a common problem with humans and not something specific amon European
Don’t confuse empire with colonialism. The Ottoman Empire took prisoners of war as slaves, but they did not do industrialized capture and resale of black people in Africa they rounded up. Europe also had rules such as the child of a slave staying a slave. Essentially turning black people into cattle.
There is a good reason that black people literally invented religions in which only white people are painted as the devil.
