Was sub-Saharan Africa better off under colonial rule?
Is this a trick question?

Conquering lands has been going on for centuries. It is human nature. You are not going to change it.

I do agree with this and if we lived in a perfect world I would say this is the way things should be, but the fact of the matter is everyone meddles, and with technology the world is only getting smaller

Probaboy better before colonialism and applying rules and borders to areas that should have never had them.

I forget how it goes or who said it but something like the 2 worst things to happen to Africa was the white people arrived and when the white people left

Also I just finished the book when a crocodile eats the sun. The author goes into some of this colonialism and the effects it had.

Well the middle east surely isn't better after wwii. Who knows what Africa would look like if it remained untouched. Egypt had potential.

There isn’t enough money in the world to make the Middle East appealing.

The same it was when they found it probably.

What brought Egypt down in your opinion?

And that is fine. Should have let them do their thing... I wouldn’t want another culture forcing their ways and customs on me when I am happy and content with how I live now. There are many videos of rural tribes in Africa who are extremely happy. The concept of suicide is non-existent to them, traditional gender roles, not eating garbage processed food. They look happy not sitting at a desk having to pay to live every day.
