Every country was a utopia until the British and French got there?
>Almost all diamond mines are owned by a few western companies.
How valuable are diamonds if not for the demand and marketing of the colonial nations?
- interactivecode 2y agoLife is objectively worse for people under colonial rule. Are you saying the incas should thank the Spanish for boosting their immune system? Should native Americans be happy their children got sterilized?
- ivanhoe 2y ago> Every country was a utopia until the British and French got there? Nope, but you can bet that in every single case it got way worse when British, French, Spanish, Belgians, Russians, Italians, Venetians, Turks, etc. occupied them by often unspeakably brutal use of force, and then exploited their natural and human resources while giving close to nothing in return.
