The "Scramble for Africa" also had the welfare of people in mind. Their primary goal was to end slavery. Even Leopold had to agree to this before he was granted access to Congo.
@@tyresejackson2601 Nope. Leopold was nowhere near as bad as he was painted to be in fairy stories such as Leopold's Ghost, which many scholars like to cite as a reference. If you want to be disabused of the outlandish lies, then I recommend Gillie's book, or I could recommend a dozen contemporary accounts which would give you a better understanding of history. But Leopold was the worst of them, which is why I chose him as an example. I was referring to the intent rather than the outcome. For example in the Berlin conference of 1884, the signatories had to give undertakings about suppressing slavery, not taking slaves, humanitarianism etc. I disagree with colonialism in principle, even if it does benefit the colonized people in the short term.
Colonialism is all about transferring wealth from the colony to the colonizing power. For example, from India to Britain. Other countries besides Britain did pretty much the same thing.
Wow... such intelligence... so much depth. Such novel ideas that no one ever heard about... Are you guys for real? Is this real? This must be a spoof. It must be.
@@godkingandnation9566 Well, at least you guys vindicate my unending despisal for right wing politics and religious fundamentalists. You people are insane.
I just saw this and listened to the first few minutes. From what I know about the British colonization of India, I don't see how any good they did there would have outweighed the great harm they did.
This video isn’t history, it’s hypothetical (and also AI) Most of the video is structured around a nonsense argument that posits “maybe colonialism was better than the alternative”, but there simply is no historical alternative. Colonialism happened and is still happening. A good historian analyzes what actually happened, not alternatives that didn’t. But the video doesn’t analyze what actually went down under colonial regimes because the reality doesn’t fit in their argument. The only piece of evidence used to support this claim is a fictional testimony, an invention of the author to support his own claim.
This video exists to provide a link for the book it references which can be downloaded from the description. Don't chew my head off for providing the resource.

I know this is AI, but to whoever made this you're not challenging anything, colonialism was seen as positive for most of history.
How can you tell this is ai? I'm not disagreeing with you, I know there are ai content mill channels, just wondering how you can tell?

They killed over 130 million Indians. But they built some railroads and post offices.

Just read the Indigenous Peoples History of the United States and Open Veins of Latina America.
South Africa is a disaster now under self rule/majority rule, but that doesn't mean the colonial/apartheid rule was a good thing.
apologists think if they just rebrand every other human evil as good, people will look more kindly on the Bible's own evil content.
