A great example of "moving the goalposts."
"Educating [the] population" and "building basic infrastructure" is something we're doing a pretty shoddy job of in the U.S., so the attempt to minimize the significance is pretty disingenuous.
What's your criteria for a nation to "actually prosper?" Hyperdriven, rampant, and mind-numbing consumerism? More millionaires? At the expense of the laborers of which colonized nation?

Given I worked in one of such "exploited" "colonized" nations for 2 years I'd say people were pretty happy with the rise of higher wages, better infrastructure including education, access to quality goods, and the creation of new jobs and industries.
