Europe and Africa

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I vote "it was a disaster" just because that's the most fitting description. It was a disaster for Africa, and it wasn't all that great for Europe either.  The gawd-awfulness of the post-colonial governments might owe something to the destruction that preceeded them. That's not to say there weren't some good effects, but I can't think of much that was unambiguously good.  At least, not yet.  Maybe in the next decades we'll see progress on clean water, modern medicine, economic development, free markets, human rights, enlightened religion, etc. That will be as much in spite of colonialism as because of it.
