So /his/ do you guys think that Europe colonizing the world was a bad or good thing for it.
bad and good are useless categories when examining history

Fair enough I should've probably stated it as did the goods of spreading the knowledge of the Europeans out way the cost of the destruction of the homogeneous cultures of the area taken over

Did the good of the European knowledge out way the bad of the homogeneous culture and history being destroyed

I wouldn't say so, though it really varies from place to place, and it's not like Europeans were the only people fucking up the world.
It's really impossible to say. For some people (eg. native Americans) it was nothing but shit, for others (eg. many Africans) it improved things to some extent while still leaving an awful legacy, while for others (eg. Indians) it's pretty hard to say whether they'd have been better off without it. Plus you have to consider the likes of the Chinese who were never actually colonized, but were fucked over as much as anyone else.
Depends. From my native point of view it's mixed

It's like you want people to kill each other for no reason.

It was probably the best thing to ever happen. Some of my ancestry would be African spear throwers, some other would be lazy natives sleeping in hammocks and some others would be inbreed pig farmers if colonization would not had happen.

Not any more or less than the Mongol conquests, Muslim expansions and other empires.
That map is wrong, in 1800 France included Belgium and the Rhineland, and also Louisiana.

Good for technological progress, bad for humans.
Good for the world, bad for Europe.
