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

but the US led UN told us to fuck off in a year or so

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

@Asdrubal then why did Indonesia rebuild while Africa is doing badly?

And others

Menelik claims that Europeans just stole and destroyed stuff

while doing the same in Asia didn't result in as much suffering
