I don't believe anybody is going to say colonisation was in any way beneficial. So yes, decolonisation was inevitably good. |

Indoctrinated? Sources? Argument? |
|
|
the fact that colonization brought to many places of the world the rule of law, parliamentary democracy, railways, medicine, and the idea of the modern nation state as well as many other benefits |

Boer Wars, slave trade, native oppression, inhibition of economic development of the colonised country, forced labour to produce tea, cotton etc, indigenous death from disease in North America and Australasia etc. I don't think I need direct sources because I think you are trolling. |

Notice the Boer wars were like 5 or so years
Native oppression? gooby pls
Inhibition of economic development? The Imperial world was far more globalized than the modern, I can assure you
Indentured labour ain't forced
The deaths from diseases can be said to be indirect because of the lack of knowledge about the spread of microbes, although there were some cases of deliberate contamination |

Wow. Get a history textbook.
"Indentured labour ain't forced"
Slavery durrrrrrrrr
"Inhibition of economic development?"
Capital from colonised went straight to coloniser inhibiting economic and social development of the colonised country.
"The deaths from diseases can be said to be indirect because of the lack of knowledge about the spread of microbes, although there were some cases of deliberate contamination"
Yep.
If you refuse to believe that the problems prevelent today in Africa are not directly related to colonialism then i'm afraid you're quite simply wrong. |

Absolute lies. No idea what corrupt muppet you get these ideas from, but yeah. Take India. High Maxwell, for example, turned Cawnpore into the "Manchester of the East"
By the 1880's Britain had invested 270 million pounds into India, by 1914 it would be 400 million
Britain created an Indian coal industry which started from near enough zero but produced 16 million tons of coal a year by 1914
However, one does get this impression by the wealth difference. But htis is all due to industrialization and is relative. For example, India's GDP per capita rose 14% between 1757 and 1947, whereas British epr capita GDP rose by 347%, but this is due to economic growth. Indian life expectancy was increased by 11 years, and about 500x more land was irrigated and farmed under Britain than had been at any other point in preceding INdian history
In India, the crap economics you spurted out there led to a de facto "drain" on the Indian economy by Britain amounting to 1% of GNP between 1868 and 1930

@goodluck
My Social Studies textbook says it's because of rival ethnic and tribal groups. |
|
|
EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM IN HISTORY EVER WAS BECAUSE OF COLONIALISM EVEN BEFORE COLONIALISM |
|
|
@ragegnite
Yeah, the europeans destroyed the original borders in Africa and put different ethnic groups together into one country, which created a lot of conflicts between them. It's like Europe getting colonized and the English, French, Germans, and Dutch are together in one country |

thats already happening and we all get along fine |

The German colonial empire would of flourished and been one of the most model systems in the world had it not been for the allies capturing it. |
