    What do you mean by that you talking about colonialism? Transalantic slave trade? Roman Empire? This a broad question but likely they’d still trade with Europeans because that’s what eventually spurred what would later evolve into the following likely forming alliances and spheres of power oh btw you’re gonna get a lot racist arguments seething etc especially from Pedro and his folder

    They'd be like Thailand or something. A whole lot better off, acquire the same technology through trade and immigrants, but not a first rate power.

            Not exactly a lot if the heavy conflicts and wars still occured alongside mass population transfers and ejections.

      Far more likely that they’d be like Afghanistan. Maybe some coastal kingdoms would be like Thailand.

      Thailand's development in the first half of the 20th century was caused by the fact it was bordered by colonial empires
      Thailand would be very different if colonialism hadn't been a thing

      Thailand and the entire SEA is like that, even Europe was like that. Peace and stability only comes after enough has been removed to make ample space.

        Africa was basically in Iron Age before colonisation, and iron age was pure kino only second to bronze age. Also yep, iron age was riddled with tribal warfares and diseases.

      The Africans were pacing themselves. If those White Devils hadn't shown up, Africans would have gone from inventing the wheel to anti-gravity in the space of a century.

          Africans did not have access to that infrastructure (often times built by African labour) alongside the state basically pimping them out for private white interests. So not sure if those are good examples because those two states only made money and income off exploiting populations to do all the work

          Only a very small urban area. Look at the rest of the country or the stats that showed otherwise. Malawi's stats at the time of independence was pitiful and the vast majority of people did not live well..

            Stop avoiding the topic shitkid. You posted a pic of the capital to show it got 'infrastructure" and the urbanization rates I posted clashed with your BS. If Africans benefited from it you'd either see a high ass urbanization rate or you'd see cities allover the place. Yet none of that happened.

    Many were quite good at it. Bit to mention African farmers do operate well (and exoanding in size) but are locked into selling and growing cash crops over food ones due to global market dynamics and niches

      Arabs were often pushed out. People heavily exaggerate Arabs.
