Most egregiously that bit is a settler colonial statelett carved out of Ireland that is still to be reunited. But also some 700 years of violent, sometimes genocidal repression, long spells of apartite conditions, culture erasure, language erasure, and generally not cool behavior.
Also a “few” bit missing from Denmark. The king didn’t relinquish actual power until much later, and interfered with Danish politics well into the 20th century. In fact Denmark had a dictatorship in the late 19th century which functioned via the power that the king still had.
There’s a bit missing from Ireland, if we’re honest.
