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

well yes, it's the same argument anti communists use

I think claiming a system killed 100 million people on no clear evidence is a little unfair

which is common

No

It was 60 million, the commonly accepted number

Im saying that since capitalism has been around longer so itd only make sense that itd kill so many

its important to note here all the numbers used are the bare minimum

conservative death tolls

5000 deaths for the brunei revolution is very generous

Im talking about the time frame
