There´s nothing to do with who colonized who, but what kind of colonization has happened
Maybe English colonization would be better, then.
Wipe out the natives and start from scratch like USA and Canada.
>Maybe English colonization would be better, then.
Yeah, worked great for Kenya or Sudan
Southern United States was so shit as Latam and still is the poorest region in the country. Why? Because had a similar history of colonization.
Latin America and Southern USA were forced by the metropolises to produce commodities and mineral wealth.
Portugal even banned manufactures from Brazil.
In fact, Southern USA used to produce a lot of cotton for the english textile industry.
But the northern USA didn´t have anything that mattered to the metropolis. They have a similar climate and none mineral wealthness. So they were left alone to build a good manufacture base.
Besides, northern USA benefited from protectionist policy inspired by Alexander Hamilton and state subsidies, the United States would never have developed.
If the country had followed the free-market policy of the South, it would be just like Brazil, where slaveholders determined free market policies to import industrialized goods from England while exporting commodities like coffee, sugar cane, and cotton.
Latin America was created to produce mineral and agricultural commodities to Portugal and Spain, like southern USA to England.
They didn't wipe out the natives and the colonization was much shorter (only 80 years for Kenya and 60 years for Sudan)
>They didn't wipe out the natives
the ones that didn't openly wage war against the invader at least
You mean a small country where nothing really happens and people are happy?
A truly multicultural paradise.
have ye ever met a pygmey person? or only black bulls of your wife?
We would be Indonesia 2.0 without Islam or the fuck up terrain
So nothing changes.
I've never seen a black person in real life. Only on TV/movies
Um, sweetie Kenya is a future African super power
India, Jamaica and Nigeria are great too
There are no Pygmy groups in either Kenya or Sudan
>future
Yeah, I've heard it many times
Latin America was created to produce mineral and agricultural commodities to Portugal and Spain, like southern USA to England.
Factories were banned in these places by the metropolises.
And even the plantations owners didn´t want and need to relly in manufactures to build their wealthness.
it would be better if the territories were actually used for something beyond resource extraction (like the US ones were)
Brazil is the United States if the confederates have had won the war.
Darcy Ribeiro, brazilian thinker
The Dutch are the last people who should be running any country.
where is that brazilian that posts about how spain and portugal were just sandniggers who wanted to bring degeneracy to the americas
he's my favorite brazilian poster desu
Yes, because our country is so shit.
>Indonesia
>Great Country
Best answer
Germany rules your country though
Germany should rule your country, though
It's poor as fuck. Nothing is functional and everyone who wants to make something if their life leaves.
