@Krolmir96 It sure beats being a Soviet puppet. Notice how many Soviet puppet states never recovered once the Soviet Union stopped supporting them? Cuba? Somalia? Ethiopia? Mongolia? North Korea? East Germany?

But Spain lost the war to the USA and the Philippines was one of its spoils.

The road to hell is often paved with good intentions.
5
Also Brazil was a Nazi refuge which explains why there are so many Germans.

@mitchellb3820 The Dutch hardly had anything to do with Africa besides South Africa. Africa's main colonizers were England and France.
4
And Angolans.
3
Also Gorbachev refused to enforce the Brezhnev doctrine and instead let the vassal states go their own way.
3
LOL. No. People loved each other, because they were threatened with jail if they didn't.
3
Maybe so, but the internal turmoil and dysfunction made all that possible. Ultimately, Yugoslavia has mostly itself to blame for why it collapsed.
3
Pretty much.
3
@anthonyp9591 Socialism/communism and authoritarianism go hand in hand.
2
Yugoslavia was a personality cult. Once the leader falls, the country falls with him/her.
2
Yes it was.
2
@omegawonton8749 Pretty much.
2
@bcnmanhattan5022 Race politics. DC = Black majority. Puerto Rico = Latino majority.
2
LOL. If so, then how come whites and mestizos are at the top while blacks and (pure-blooded) Natives are at the bottom in virtually all Latin American countries?
2
But it was woefully underpopulated
2
<Chernobyl has nothing to do with it at all!> It was a PR disaster for the USSR.
2
@MontenegrinIcon That nationalism was a consequence of various ethnic groups forced against their will to live together as Yugoslavia was formed at gunpoint.
2
Communism earned its hatred.
2
In other words, communism can only be sustained by tyranny and brute force.
2
Don't forget the Germans.
2
Not as much as Europeans themselves. Not everyone wants to live in a Nazi or Soviet empire.
2
@lesteraponte5734 While France is a drain on West Africa.
2
@firecreeper2249 Mayotte has resources?
2
Except Nazi Germany. You better thank Canada and England for liberating you from them.
2
In other words, Yugoslavia was a personality cult. And once the leader died, the country followed suit.
2
<Yugoslavia was very powerful country> Until it ran out of other people's money.
2
Which in turn exposed the limitations of the USSR's central planning model and economy.
2
Actions speak louder than words. And communism practiced the abolition of private property and the bourgeoisie Marx advocated to the T.
2
@krips22 With a good portion of voters being French mainlanders who just moved in. Kind of like Crimea with its ethnic Russian enclaves.
2
Also the Spanish Empire.
2
@brixcosmo Brazil's so-called inequality is even worse than the US's. <Just like USA. In the last years the civil war mood became more evident. In the last days there were invasions of governmental buildings by the last President's supporters just like when Trump lost.> That's not proof of inequality, but political disenchantment.
2
Thank the British for kicking their asses in the Boer War.
1
@dutchpatriot17 Apparently, colonialism is perfectly fine as long as their preferred group is doing the colonizing, not being colonized.
1
Mismanagement and corruption.
1
No. By running out of other people's (US and Soviet) money and having no strongman to keep the ethnic groups in line after Tito died.
1
Nah. Yugoslavia ran out of other people's money. And like Libya, it died with its personality cult-leader.
1
Also losing the Afghanistan War while supporting a communist regime even they themselves didn't recognize as legitimate and the failed invasion of Finland.
1
And then it fell as fast as it rose. <What failed was the effect of neoliberal interference and theft from the whole population owned public sector to minority held private sector.> LOL. The population didn't own anything. The Politburo elites did.
1
It figures why they're still bitter over the US.
1
Costa Rica had no problem developing independently of the US.
1
Just ask Zimbabwe.
1
Taiwan is (South) Florida to China's Cuba.
1
No. Gran Colombia collapsed due to corruption and ego.
1
Because South America was already fragmented from the greed, ego and personal ambitions of local elites which was why Gran Colombia collapsed in just 12 years.
1
No one exploited the peasantry more than the communists themselves.
1
@gavriloprincip3342 Against the will of their neighbors.
1
You mean failed to maintain that collectivism at gunpoint. And when the individualists/nationalists saw opportunity to gain independence with help from the West, they seized it.
1
Exactly.
