2? At least 6. EDIT: *I take this back, I misread/read too lazily. It was 2 centuries, not decades. *

I've been reading Open Veins so I pause at claiming the US was out-terrorizing Spain in the Americas, and British Empire deserve credit for their atrocities as well though it's easy to argue USA is the continuation of that.

No, you're quite right. I take it back. I read far too hastily. You clearly said centuries and I read decades.
