People always take this stuff personally and ignore the systemic critique. I'm talking about the replies here.

If Africa had been the first continent to industrialise, it would have produced imperial powers.

Europe did and it was the dominant continent and shaped the world in its own interests. This included even creating modern counties due to Anglo French compromises.

Its an interesting counter factual to think about how the third world would have developed without colonialism.
@Burnley123 It is, but it’s not something we can ever know. Even in many areas with intertribal wars, there was European interference at some point.
