Once more the british crown

the primary reason for colonisation was profit

I find this hilarious cuz from ur pfp's it looks like the emperor and a hippy are arguing over politics

The africas were to poor to be worth colonizing though.

not true

Yes true

diamond mines, slaves

gold

petrol

Slaves were not a thing in france nor england during the colonizing

There's a reason Africa was colonised last, it wasn't as profitable

Petrolium isnt a very profitable venture in africa

if anything diamonds

diamonds, gold, other resources

?

Petrol later on

more in the 20th century

Even then diamonds werent really found until 1940-1990s

Gold ok i can see why they might do it for gold

exactly why Africa was colonised last, not as profitable

not until late 19th century

1870 I think

where you could make more money, you can bet there were colonists

throughout East Asia for spice, the gold in South America

They werent even aware of many diamonds, gold, oil, or any other useful resources in africa during the 1870s

European powers used Africa to gain slaves

it was an important part of the Atlantic slave trade

slaves from Africa to America, the goods from America to Europe

Once again slaves werent really a thing the 1800s

sure they had them early 19th century

slavery was still unofficially going on in a lot of colonies

idk about that but ill assume youre right. but its trade was largely eliminated after 1840s

the economic worth of slaves were diminishing anyways

Even then the only place to have slight economic worth would be India

But none of the oceanias were that wealthy

And wasnt the colonization of america like in 1490s

India, China, North America, Carribbean, South America were all profitable.

now look who was colonised first.

1600s-1700s was the golden age of colonization

So were looking at the entire history of capitilalism?

I believe you could see why thatd be a bit skewed

Comparing all deaths to the long lasting capitalism to the relatively new idea of socialism is a bit unfair
