True I was ignoring the genocidal aspects because they weren't known to anyone except to the top brass of the NSDAP government (and not even inplemented at the lead-up/start of ww2), so it was irrelevant to the point I was making.
You are however wrong (and malicious) when you try to grossly paint the western powers colonial rule as something benevolent that should be remembered fondly. The colonizers severely mistreated the locals. Many Vietminh leaders joined the movement after having been brutalized by the French authority for almost no reason.
And the infrastructure was deliberately ignoring healthcare (for the locals) and education in favor of production and extraction. When Congo became independent less than 10 people in the entire country had an academic education, which severely affected the country's future.
