I can't see any natural resource over there (diamonds, gold, silver, coltan...) except for England (who has resources, but colonized) and the northern countries (which never colonized)
pretty sure the UK had like a good bit of ores (to make iron and then steel) and minerals back in the day or something but they def benefitted from colonization incredibly,
and then industries like cocoa and s*** where they grow cocoa beans in african countries, but its processed in places like belgium for example so those countries they get it from where they got children working it don't get any of the return/profits for the hardest work out of the process
bro they still colonizing f*** you mean
probs biggest criticism of my own political ideology (socdem) is that while standards in countries are high they have to exploit poorer countries ie the global south to keep up and support us westerners
Poverty has fallen in global south
Industrialisation was inevitable tho which would have also created wealth, albeit more equally
Time for an econ lesson
Wealth goes up based on productive capacity, and natural resources
Europe didnt have natural resources, so it expended to acquire them. Tbis allowed them to produce in their factories and grow wealthier and more productive
That being said, they didnt NEED to colonise to do it, they could have traded instead.
There are European nations that are very rich, like Switzerland and Austria, that did no or almost no colonization. And there are nations that had a lot of colonization that have fallen into mediocrity, like Spain and Portugal.
Germany also did a very small of amout of colonialism (Tansania and Namibia for some Years).
The modern wealth is more tied to the industrial revolution and its consequences. Of course colonialism and slavery are tied to industrial revolution but also innovative trading and manufacturing logistics.
In a philosophical way the industrial revolution is also tied with the european enlightenment (Kant/Hegel/Rousseau/Marx) which effected the birth of states, human rights and also economic innovations.
European Countries (Japan too -> ending of the Samurai society) reformed themselves in this time, while many asian empires like china fell off. Countries who were stuck in feudalism or in feudal society had it very hard of course
Facts
Imperialism helped but isnt a necessary condition for prosperity
I can't see any natural resource over there (diamonds, gold, silver, coltan...) except for England (who has resources, but colonized) and the northern countries (which never colonized)
they also determined those rocks and minerals have value

guns germs and steel
They got rich because of technology. Volta invented the electric cell and that lead to rapid advancements
That's why socialism >>>>>>>>

Why are we acting like fetishization of militant groups isn't a weird vibe

Obviously, they benefitted from it, but they were all rich well before colonization.
Difference is that places that used to be rich like India, China or worst of all the indigenous empires of the Americas were blasted into poverty by Europeans.
ex colonial powers lost also much money while dealing with natives/rebels in civil wars and other disputes.
After the second world war many europan colonial were so broke, they couldnt hold the administration for their colonies, especially UK. This why India, Pakistan and later the african states were born.
"WHY WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE COLONIAL POWERS
"
And ur seriously trying to argue the UK turned poor in the 50s because they lost colonies?
