>almost all.

Because the British realized fucking the natives just made more of them, better to segregate and replace them instead. If the native population was too large/difficult to replace just use them for raw resources.

Qatar is the richest nation on Earth, Philippines is 118th.
>>
>>77341683
Spain hardly taught flips anything. the only flips that got education were the rich ones.
they stayed in the Philippines only for business and flips were easy slaves.. until people noticed that 333 of cuckery is a bit too long.

We owe a lot to the Americans because they introduced public schools and more flips were able to have education and know more than just writing their name.

In a number of cases the Brits colonized countries where the natives did not recognize the value of Gold.

Those colonies had the cash injection of available Gold early.

And i wouldn't say murica is a great country desu
>>

SE Asia was French though.
>>
>>77341683
Genetic.

British live in shit and so immigrated to the colonies.
Spain use the colonies as a fuckfest before going back home.
France just traded ressources against protection.

What this resulted in is english colonies are human, spain halfsubhuman, french subhuman, with the corresponding IQ, GDP, etc..

Brits started treating their colonies like gardens that you cultivate and things prosper and grow and you make more money long term.

The Spanish just raped and plundered - much better in the short term and a fucking disaster in the long.

India is not nearly as bad as you think. The slums are a different world to the rest of the country.

They're certainly more relevant in the modern world than Spain is.

This is a wild generalization. Much of Latin America is actually fairly decent, Chile and Argentina (don't laugh) come to mind. There are plenty of poor ex-British colonies such as India and Burma.

The real question is where you got this impression in the first place.

This is the real answer.

Because Spain discovered the Americas. People went there for personal gain, while the colonization of the brits was waaaaaay later, and knew what to expect. The state encouraged that, while people in spain wanted to go for their own profit.

I think the British kinda lucked out with colonising people who had actual potential. Malaysia and hk were both British yet hk is the financial center while Malaysia managed to get Cucked by Singapore (also heavily chinese)of all places.

Even Macau (hk neighbour) which was run by the Portuguese is doing okay.

India is a mess but they have some guys who learnt the western way to eventually become CEO. Look at Microsoft.

Of course there was a study saying Brits were good at using their empire to have a developed economy while Spain used theirs to build stupid statutes....

Spain didn't give a shit about developing the economies of the places they conquered, they just wanted to rip all the mineral wealth out of the ground and ship it back. The British, by contrast, founded colonies which mirrored metropolitan Britain in social priorities and economic diversification, so they became first world countries over time.

The British Navy actually lost many more times to the Spanish Navy than it ever won. The Spanish Armada lost due to severe weather and pirates which were far more effective than the British Navy ever was.

As a mater of fact, shortly after the loss of the invincible armada the British sent a fleet south to invade Spain and was completely wrecked.

Hell, Lord Nelson tried to invade the Canary Islands and ended up losing his arm. As well as having his fleet annihilated.They lost to a 60 something year old Spanish veteran officer and a handful of militia.

All that said Brits ran a much better run Empire than Spain, Portugal, France and Netherlands.

>>77345907

kek, this meme never dies.

Every colonial power was interested in the same things. Wealth, land and power.

Spain had two priorities; acquiring vast sums of gold and new converts.

England wanted land, wealth and power. They were tired of being the underdogs for their entire history prior to the colonial age.

They both committed atrocities towards natives. I'd say Brits were better at it as they didn't fuck as many of the natives and instead just killed them all. The Spanish believed that those converted to god would eventually evolve from sub-human savages with the grace of god. In reality they just ended up creating a race of self-loathing half-breeds.

Cubans are probably the only L.A. demographic that doesn't seem to have nothing but hatred for Spain. Most Cubans I've met, except for a few uneducated ones have pretty favorable views of Spain.

One of my best growing up was the son of Cuban exiles who grew up during Franco Spain after they had to flee Communist Cuba. They actually fled to Mexico first, but where turned away because Mexicans didn't want any immigrants; kek go figure. Anyway, he's always had nothing but admiration and respect for what Spain use to be under Franco.
