Why?
Because you build wells 5 miles from villages?
Europe build a lot of infrastructure.
European imperialism was "home away from home" so they build everything they needed
Move the village closer to the well.
which the Africans inherited.
@Ironsmaller land menans easier to build, the Asians sucked up to white people, so they were helped to rebuild
We never got much help to rebuild
Lol
The west pumps the equivelant of multiple marshall plans into Africa each year
They were not unsustainble.
@Ronin European infrastructure doesnt translate into much when barely any Africans were educated
a lot of them were educated
it also doesn't take a super genious to figure out how to work a train.
There was ample opportunity to learn, this was rejected in favor of equal representation right fucking now.
@Iron what happened was that greedy rulers were put in power in several countries and ruined them before they even had a chance or europe/america intervened and placed a horrible ruler.
> The west pumps the equivelant of multiple marshall plans into Africa each year
@Ronin Sure after they stole trillions in resources and got free labor for 400 years
That is why america is the greatest nation and not the Netherlands
America made things worse
They insisted, they pleaded, they said if we put people in power without education this would happen.
a lot of European nations wanted to slowly decolonize
you're also forgetting Asia
@Roninbecause of fear of Revolution
So you got people barely able to run a garden and put them over entire nations.
we did the same shit in Asia yet they aren't a shithole
People starved.
Hell look at Burkina Faso under Sankhara, He made Burkina Faso Self sustainable in food, and then the with the help of the french he was killed and replaced, and soon, Burkina faso went to shit and needed aid
In the 1970s, only 43.5% of African children attended school, while only 3.9% of these children enrolled in secondary school. @Ronin
@Roninasia was helped to rebuild
I was talking about places like Indonesia
not Japan
@Roninindonesia has black asians
the Dutch fucked off from Indonesia in 1946.
And it became a functional nation
Still not a win for your argument
how so?
The dutch implemented forced cultivation in Indonesia, leaving much of population uneducated and more than a majority of Indonesian land for cash crops
China was at war with itself for a very long time and they managed to become an economic superpower
@Roninwith the help of the Soviet union
And others
