My take on European success and wealth is that they stole.
You cannot create wealth unless you steal it, this is a themodynamical law. Basically to create energy you need a source. And to create wealth you need to steal. You cannot create wealth, it has to come from somewhere. And Europeans colonized Africa, stole its resources&became rich.

This was all there is to "the Great Divergence".

Why were Europeans able to colonize Africa and not vice versa?

>>511264696
Europe had more population

>>511264568 (OP)
But colonialism did not bring wealth to Europe. Almost all colonies were a drain of resources and manpower, and much of it was driven by prestige and the desire to paint maps.

Every single one of these topics is autistic. Made up fantasy. You cannot steal something nobody owns. You stupid dumbass. Africa was sparsely populated. It's inhabitants we're tribes people, hunter gathers. They had no idea about wealth. It was cooking and eating the next tribe. What did anybody else steal from it. Instead since providing you with an education look and read you're intent to steal something. Because you're still dumb and cannot fucking make it.

AI Overview
During Leopold II's rule of the Congo Free State, from 1885 to 1908, millions of Congolese people died due to atrocities and exploitation
. While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact number of deaths due to lack of reliable records from that era, many estimates suggest a significant population decline, according to Study.com and Britannica.
Estimates for the number of deaths during this period vary from 1 million to as high as 15 million, with some historians agreeing on a figure of around 10 million. This loss of life is attributed to a combination of factors, including:

Violence and Murder: The Force Publique, Leopold's private army, enforced a brutal regime, using violence, torture, and murder to coerce the Congolese people into collecting rubber and other resources. Failure to meet quotas could result in death or mutilation.
Disease: The disruption of society and the introduction of new diseases by Europeans and Arab traders contributed to epidemics that ravaged the population, according to Wikipedia. Smallpox and sleeping sickness were particularly devastating.
Famine: The focus on resource extraction led to agricultural disruption and food shortages, further weakening the population and making them more susceptible to disease.
Reduced Birth Rate: The harsh conditions, violence, and social upheaval likely contributed to a decline in birth rates.

It's important to remember that these events were widely condemned at the time, leading to international pressure that eventually forced Leopold to cede control of the Congo to the Belgian government in 1908. Despite the controversy surrounding the exact numbers, the atrocities committed in the Congo Free State represent a dark chapter in history, according to Cambridge University Press & Assessment.

This is actually partially true, but not in the way the artists thinks. Colonizing Africa cost significantly more than it gave them back, and colonies were mostly just an international status symbol. Once colonialism stopped being fashionable, this freed up European resources that otherwise would have been wasted on propping up their colonies.

the west was already rich before africa you dumb jeet pretending to be a nigger, how the fuck do you think they were able to travel to you and colonize you?
Also, all of you dumb browns would be better off with white people in charge of your countries, then maybe you wouldn't all try to flee to white ones.

If you'd actually knew history, you would know that nearly all african colonies were just straight up money sinks. With few exceptions, they were literally paying more into the colonies than they were receiving from them.

The “free state” of Congo was put to work for King Leopold II of Belgium. Children and old men had their hands cut off for the slightest infractions, an indigenous force founded by the king (the notorious Force Publique) could, without reservation, destroy whole villages if they refused to work. All subjects of the Free State of Congo were forced to extract rubber from rubber figs. Only free in name, every Congolese citizen was effectively still a slave. Everybody was forced, with a labor tax by Leopold.

29 African nations are still awaiting restitution of the French army’s crimes and return of wealth looted from their lands

The skulls of the decapitated Algerian leaders demanding freedom were exhibited at the Human Museum of Paris in 1880-81. To this day, Algeria is still waiting for repatriation of the skulls to return, some of whom have been identified.

Nicknamed the "country of one and a half million martyrs" Algeria’s Maghreb region has witnessed mass killings. In 1960, the French detonated their first nuclear device in the Algerian desert 1960, which was three to four times more powerful than the one dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945.

According to French newspaper Le Monde’, "no less than 16 atmospheric and underground explosions" followed without "any obligation to monitor the health of local populations and environmental contamination". In all, 57 nuclear experiments and tests were between 1960-66, according to Franceinfo.

You motherfuckers STILL sit on the most resource rich continent on the planet and if you weren't absolutely drooling baboon retards you'd have the Wakanda only Jewish fiction can create. Even if every single word of colonists stealing wealth and abusing the locals and giving nothing in return, the sheer knowledge that propelled you thousands of years technologically is well worth it. There are more Africans than there ever were SOLELY because of outside interference. You think Sub-Saharan Africa would have a population of 1.3 BILLION if white people never stepped foot on "your" lands? Shut the fuck up and be thankful we found it in our hearts to eventually let you rule over yourselves. You better thank God that white people found you first and not Chinks. The Chinks would have just fucking genocided you all down to the last and taken the land for good.

Europe hasn't even depleted all of its natural resources, even with thousands of years more of extracting them and technology that eclipsed Africans in the Roman days. Africa is still so ridiculously resource rich to complain that Europeans somehow managed to strip the entire continent bare and that's why you eat each other is laughable. Fuck off.

Leopold's interactions with the Congo didn't involve killing. A business deal was proposed to village elders, in which the given village collected rubber for payment. The village elders kept the money for themselves and enslaved their own people, amputating the limbs of those who did not comply. The sight of hand-chopping was unimaginable to the upper-class nitwits of Britain, who had an emotional reaction to the images without the real context.

Leopold was cheap and naive. He could have hired Europeans to grow and pick the rubber, but he thought Africans could govern themselves. Even after a native police force was established to counteract the Congolese who were harming other Congolese, that police force would go on to collectively punish rival tribes when European personnel weren't around.

King Leopold employed some Prussian military personnel to bring order to the region, which motivated the British elite to falsify claims against Belgium. Also, the Congo Free State only controlled some parts of the Lower Congo near the river network, and there were no more than 400 Whites in the Congo at any given time.

The Africans' behaviour preceded European contact; Belgians merely documented it while the British elite, many of whom were already Jews, propagandized it against Belgium.

This is the experience of every black person. Some cope with it well, some don't and make up Wakanda stories in their head. "Da wyte man stole it from us" is one of the sadder types of cope. Nobody "stole" the blueprints for planes and helicopters Jamal, you can just make them. In fact, with the internet, they're easier to make than ever. The basic principles of physics are there. So how come when I look at those African aviation videos they never got a single one of their fuckin "helicopters" flying?

Africa's population exploded because of colonization. What the colonies took they made use of but what was Africa using? Wealth was already created in Europe by the use of their resources.
