@Carlos Sifleet Colonialism is why Africa had enough semi-modern infrastructure to be able to form nations.
I know, propaganda taught you all you need to know about Colonialism but propaganda and facts disagree. Europeans lost more resources building Africa and its infrastructure than they gained during Colonialism. The countries that did not participate or participated the least, in African colonialism were the ones who were the strongest in the early 20th century. Belgium, Holland, UK, France, all lost money and resources building up their colonies. America and Germany who had none or few, dominated the others. So Colonialism wasn't good for anyone other than Africa.
And when the Colonial powers left, things went to hell in a hand-basket. You like imagining a world without Colonialism, try imagining it without the English language, the Democratic/Parliamentary systems, and without European built ports across the 3rd world. Now imagine the grinding poverty of those countries without the European touch. Or if you really need to, look at Haiti, they got rid of the French and no one is bothering to tell them how to govern themselves... how's that working out for them?
