for the most part, colonialization was the best thing that happened to sub saharan africa
leopold's reign over the congo is a big reason why i have to add, "for the most part"

Wow. This could be the most ignorant thing ever said on the OT. Which is saying a lot.

um, the congo wasn't too much worse than what was happening in the other colonies, it was just of a grander scale. I read Leopold's Ghosts and at the back of the book, they give some figures of other European African colonies. They all wiped out at least half the populations. And also, they're the direct cause for many of the conflicts today. I'm not an anti-colony guy for the most part, but it without a doubt did not benefit Africa 1000%. There is no way you could really argue that it did.
