Dunno why you used Africa for this example

The question is, why are the ONLY good countries outside of Europe our former colonies?

>It must also be remembered that the "blessings of civilization" are not in practice by any means as obvious as some simple-minded folk would like to believe. It can be said with fair accuracy that among the tribes with which we have been dealing there is, in their uncontaminated society, no pauperism, no paid prostitution, very little serious drunkenness, and on the whole astonishingly little crime; while practically everyone has enough to eat, sufficient clothing, and an adequate dwelling, according to the primitive native standard. Of what civilized community can as much be said?
"The Vanishing Tribes of Kenya" by Major Browne, high official of the British Government Administrative Department of Kenya

>Geoffrey Gory quotes figures given by Marcel Sauvage in his article on French Equatorial Africa: "'In 1911 French Equatorial Africa had twenty million negro inhabitants; in 1921 there were seven and a half million; in 1931 there were two and a half million.'"

He states regarding the quotation: "These figures were given in a responsible French conservative paper and have not been denied."

thats kind of bullshit zhulu and other tribes were pretty fucking brutal to there enemys and slavery was common place.

All continents had warring States that the reality panther World. they were however no more savage than anything in Europe but neither can say Britain make the claim that all its citizens lived better as Major Browne stated at that time.

Also Zulu aren't ancient, they are only a few centuries old but also they didn't practice slavery and on a whole Africa slavery was not the same as slavery in the New World for many reasons two being 1. It wasn't race based obviously and it wasn't inherited and 2. There were no plantation economies warranting such forms of slavery
