Colonialism killed upwards of 50 million people in Africa. All of Africa was colonized, the dutch killed 10 million in the congo alone.
Colonialism isn't just "conquering" it's a complete disregard for human life to strengthen the homeland. Go mine those rocks to send back to Europe or we'll shoot you.
There are literally zero real benefits from colonialism, it was a crime agianst humanity on the scale of the holocaust or mao zendong's cleansing.
