But we only work 30 hours a week.

England played the long game by dumping religious dissidents and criminals in "worthless" land and letting them do whatever they wanted so long as they killed off all the natives.

Compare that to other colonies where there were gold or spices or whatever so the natives were essentially enslaved to harvest it all.

The Netherlands has been for most of the modern age the richest country in the world and still has better socio-economic indicators than the USA, unlike most of Europe. You do not fall into the category of Europoor

Nah, our other colonies are fine as well. Had a trade post in Japan through which they learned about western science and tech. A colony in South Africa (richest cunt in Africa). A colony in Taiwan. Founded the Frankish empire which fell apart into Germany and France. Took over the UK kickstarting their golden age. And colonies in countless other places.

yeah not in africa though

geographical position

Good land.
Isolation.
Immigration.
It was an inevitability that they would rise to be a world power.
They may not have become a superpower if Europe wasn't a shitshow.

wasn't it because of this guy?

Absolute state of wewuzing

In Von Humboldt's memoirs, he says that not a single indigenous person was forced to work in the mines.
In fact, Spain articulated two legislations to defend the native population from abuses, The Leyes de Burgos and Leyes Nuevas, the first were applied before the conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires was completed. The only slavery that existed in Hispanic America was the encomiendas, which were abolished after the war of the encomiendas war and black slavery, which, unlike what happened in Portugal, in Spain blacks could buy their freedom. In fact, there are many examples of blacks and mulattos who reached high military ranks and chairs in universities. For example, Juan Latino, a mulatto who received a degree from the University of Granada, not even in America, in the south of Spain. There were also self-managed populations of freed slaves founded by immigrants from the English and French colonies that were integrated into the colonial administration.

What you say is a nationalist myth of muh wewuz workers n shieeeet
