Opinion of Afghanistan?

[dead0man]

When people talk about colonialism being the thing which made so much of the world worse, let’s all remember that Afghanistan was never a victim of colonialism and it’s pretty much the worst country in the world.

Hong Kong
Singapore
Australia
USA
Canada

All the most successful countries started as Emglish Colonies.

Vietnam
Lebanon
Cote D'Voire
Burkina Faso

Almost a level below in terms of quality of result.

So the colonialist effect depends largely on the coloianialists.

England - Good
France - Average
Belgium - Poor

Like the posters on this forum in a way.

The differences of colonization did definitely have an impact. It’s not just about who is the colonizer, but also what the purpose of the colonization is. You can see differences between Spanish colonies in Latin America and the US for good reason, and a lot of it has to do with the social structures and economic systems put in place that became part of the local culture. An even better example is Haiti vs Dominican Republic.

indeed, people came to North America (mostly) to live, invest, grow and stay.  The people that went to Mexico and further south (mostly) went to harvest things and then retire back in Europe.
