Once more the british crown

2020-10-22 12:02:43 UTC  

the primary reason for colonisation was profit

2020-10-22 12:03:08 UTC  

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

2020-10-22 12:03:14 UTC  

The africas were to poor to be worth colonizing though.

2020-10-22 12:03:24 UTC  

not true

2020-10-22 12:03:28 UTC  

Yes true

2020-10-22 12:03:29 UTC  

diamond mines, slaves

2020-10-22 12:03:33 UTC  

gold

2020-10-22 12:03:37 UTC  

petrol

2020-10-22 12:03:54 UTC  

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

2020-10-22 12:03:57 UTC  

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

2020-10-22 12:04:34 UTC  

Petrolium isnt a very profitable venture in africa

2020-10-22 12:04:39 UTC  

if anything diamonds

2020-10-22 12:04:45 UTC  

diamonds, gold, other resources

2020-10-22 12:04:51 UTC  

?

2020-10-22 12:04:55 UTC  

Petrol later on

2020-10-22 12:05:03 UTC  

more in the 20th century

2020-10-22 12:05:42 UTC  

Even then diamonds werent really found until 1940-1990s

2020-10-22 12:06:09 UTC  

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

2020-10-22 12:06:12 UTC  

exactly why Africa was colonised last, not as profitable

2020-10-22 12:06:23 UTC  

not until late 19th century

2020-10-22 12:06:37 UTC  

1870 I think

2020-10-22 12:06:59 UTC  

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

2020-10-22 12:07:21 UTC  

throughout East Asia for spice, the gold in South America

2020-10-22 12:07:25 UTC  

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

2020-10-22 12:07:48 UTC  

European powers used Africa to gain slaves

2020-10-22 12:08:01 UTC  

it was an important part of the Atlantic slave trade

2020-10-22 12:08:15 UTC  

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

2020-10-22 12:08:22 UTC  

Once again slaves werent really a thing the 1800s

2020-10-22 12:08:35 UTC  

sure they had them early 19th century

2020-10-22 12:09:39 UTC  

slavery was still unofficially going on in a lot of colonies

2020-10-22 12:11:04 UTC  

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

2020-10-22 12:11:51 UTC  

the economic worth of slaves were diminishing anyways

2020-10-22 12:14:19 UTC  

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

2020-10-22 12:14:34 UTC  

But none of the oceanias were that wealthy

2020-10-22 12:15:29 UTC  

And wasnt the colonization of america like in 1490s

2020-10-22 12:15:30 UTC  

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

now look who was colonised first.

2020-10-22 12:15:53 UTC  

1600s-1700s was the golden age of colonization

2020-10-22 12:16:14 UTC  

So were looking at the entire history of capitilalism?

2020-10-22 12:16:46 UTC  

I believe you could see why thatd be a bit skewed

2020-10-22 12:17:31 UTC  

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