    The Spanish. They slaughtered savages instead of trying to civilise them. The latter was Britian's terrible mistake.

      and destroyed their own economy by looting them, causing such horrific inflation that they arguably still haven't recovered completely yet.

      By slaughter you mean rape, and what a product of that Empire Latin America is; Canada, the US and Australia should all be taking notes from those utopias.

      conquistadores bred with the natives, it was anglos who brought their women, settled land and eventually displaced natives, also they were usually retaliating against native violence and most of the land was empty anyway, you have been misled by modern media

      That's exactly what the Brits did and that's the reason why Canada and Australia are first world whereas Sudan and Pakistan are third world.

      All of them.
      But i'd say
      Tier 1: UK, Spain, Portugal (only because they technically were the first and the last which bumps them up)
      Tier 2: France, the netherlands, (debatably also russia if you don't think colonialism has to necessarily involve boats), England
      Honorable mentions (they tried hard even if they didn't/couldn't really pull it off): Belgium, Couronia, Knights of malta.
      Tier 3: Denmark, Sweden, Italy (huts me to say this), Germany, (the U.S depending on definition)
      Lmao tier: Scotland, (suggestions greatly aprecciated)

            Argentina has very high inflation, but it is still a great place to live, that map also forgets Uruguay, which is like Chile and Argentina but small and without Argentine inflation.

            Equatorial Guinea is Morocco tier, look at their HDI, Malabo is among the safest cities of Africa (compsred to Mexico in which aztec pagan blood demons from narcos took power again during 60s), it's also the cleanest one. They also send many exchange stundents to Europe and South America so they are fine, Catholic dictatorship proving again being the right path.

      lmao, the Portuguese were the first and longer lasting and its not close
      also left brazil much better than the rest of the ever balkanizing sudacas
      and were a far bigger naval power, even till the 1800, when they were 2nd in the world only behind the british during the napoleonic wars

        >longer lasting

        Macau was leased as a trading outpost and the Portuguese paid hundreds of silver taels annually to China from the 16th-19th centuries. It was not taken in a war. The Ming dynasty earlier defeated Portuguese ships in battle at Tunmen and Shancaowan.

        Portugal only converted it to a colony after the opium war in the 19th century.

    Certainly not Spain, all their colonies went to shit and one storm basically kneecapped it for the rest of its existence despite being supremely rich for many many decades.
    Spain probably extracted more wealth out of their colonies than any other nation but what does it have to show for it?

    • 1 year ago

      Because only Spain had the means to actually economically develop their colonies and exploit natural resources. Spanish decline started with Rocroi but their empire lasted 150 years more as the absolute dominant power at the oversea reaching expansion peak circa 1780. Trafalgar and Napoleon were truly the end for them.

      Cartagena de Indias in Colombia, it used to be the most walled city on the continent because ships of gold, silver, slaves and other agricultural products left from there to Spain. Although in the 19th century the authorities tore down almost all the walls and castles around the city due to new urban projects, Which is funny because it still has a very extensive network of walls that is nowhere near what it used to be.
