So true! The third world was so much better off while they were still being raped and pillaged by colonial powers.
Fact is... America would be too! Shoot, forget Brexit, we should Brit-In.
SMH, the third world is the way it is because of colonialism. Not in spite of it. And it wasn't just Europe, America did it also. The real fact is, we (western society) f-ed up the world to satisfy our own greed, and then bailed.
Fact is, the third world is still playing catch up.
Fact is, they'd be in much better shape if they had been left the hell alone.
Not what actually history shows but, OK
Britan was forced to "give" The American Colonies what they earned. Because my ancestors weren't gonna put up with it.
Its all understandable.
There was raping and pillaging all over the world. Well before Imperialism. And in spite of it.
Without exception.. Every major tribe or people helped or fought against other tribes or people. Who were helping a larger power.
Indian scouts...whole tribes, African Tribal leaders.
So, when their "side " won they would gain. Sounds pretty virtuos and moral.
Africa is pretty much the know birth place of humanity.
Yet, it seems they ave always been playing catch up from the beggining.
Heck they caught and sold their own people all over the world for generations...still do..
But, yea yea ... its all the fault of the people who have furthered mankind more than anyone over and over...
Not to mention Stopping Slavery.. Joined By the U.S after the Civil War to fight illegal slavery.
Do you know what the Boar War was? The British should have been more strict after they won.
Like in the U.S SOME of the settlers treated the native population terribly.
The largest killer of ative people in North America was disease. A plague of smallpox and other Euro bugs that decimated almost 90% of the Native population on the East Coast shortly after Columbus got lost and bumped into an Island.
Same thing in Mexico and central America
Not saying the Spanish.. and cruel colonists didn't exist. It's well documented
Before the Pilgrims even Got here. The tribes in Massachusets were barely on the rebound.
If it was a wholesale cultural genocidal population "in charge"
We wouldn't have a current native population at all. Let alone one that has almost risen to pre colony levels.
There was never going to be an enclave of aboriginies living in utopia on any of the large contints just surronded by a modern world.
