The English had a pencil, the French had a highlighter, The English drew the world, and the French made it brighter

I love brits as much as I hate them

Oh look, another idiot with no concept of the logistics behind the empire and how it generated wealth. It was actually costing us money towards the later stages.

thirdoids cant into empire & civilisation building

The British cannot say to the French, “I don’t need you!” And the Pakis cannot say to the Indians, “I don’t need you!”, On the contrary, those countries of the world that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty.

Every single place the French colonized they filled it with African slaves, and they're on the same level as any African country now, far worse than any ex-Spanish colony, even the shittiest ones.

Their fuckup is so big it can be seen from space.

Soul/soulless

You retard, no colony has ever been unprofitable, you are looking at state revenues and not at the benefits reaped by corporations and people of the home country- the former through both a source of cheap raw material and a market without trade restrictions and competetion, and the latter through job opportunities in the colonial administration and army (and this pay to their own countrymen forms a major part of the "losses" that colonies incur- same as the Afghan war's trillions of dollars went moetly to US defense contractors etc).

Around the same time the golden chicken, India, was beaten dead thoroughly?

French people are better than english people

Yes, the East India Company and Cecil Rhoades made loads of money from the Empire, the people of Britain's only benefits from the Empire were when rich pricks felt the need to show off their wealth, by your logic the people that got sentenced to transportation to Australia, or got press-ganged into merchant fleets benefited from the Empire. I also specified the latter end of the Empire after WW1 blew our kneecaps off.

The UK itself was always the most profitable part of the Empire, fuckwits seem to think all of our advancements and progress was purely because of our colonies.

It costing the state money, but it was profitable for your bankers and merchants

Bitch, the Portuguese did the same thing, Haiti went downhill after they kicked out the French and France is one of the wealthiest states in thd the world, it's okay to cope but make it believable unleast.

go eat some monkey head stew

>fuckwits seem to think all of our advancements and progress was purely because of our colonies.
Because it is
You're just too dumb to look at the large picture

And the trillions of today's pounds that were drained from India, that was just, the side effect of the British excellence?

what did we do

Yeah it was, absolutely fucking awful for the actual Brits though who suffered through industrialisation.
All our scientific advancements was because of the colonies?
You on about the Indian Marxist "economist"?

Those are the places that suffered the most under the closure of the mining and manufacturing industries in the 80s. The rest of the country remained wealthy.

What?
What?

Are you 2 sane?

>no colony has ever been unprofitable
Most retarded thing ive heard all week
