Practically all of Asia was colonised, Japan being the notable exception. China was kinda semi-colonised. Colonization isn't the only cause of poverty, but it is a very big part of the problem. Also note that even countries that were not officially colonised by the Europeans were mercilessly exploited through other means. Liberia for instance. On paper it says 'never colonised'. But the country was practically being run by the American Firestone company. 3 Likes |

Poverty and underdevelopment have nothing to do with colonization. And almost every human civilization has at some point been colonized by an occupying power. These are lazy excuses black people and Africans often allude to in excusing their failures. 3 Likes 1 Share |

onila:Yes Arab and Asian countries were also colonized. After World War 1, Britain ruled most of Arabia; that isTrans-Jordan (Jordan), Palestine, which is present-day Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and Iraq as mandates. Before then these Arabian states were colonised by the Ottoman Turks, the ancestors of present day Turkey. Egypt was also colonized by Britain earlier on. Part of China (Hong Kong) was colonized by Britain till 1997. Many other Asian countries were colonized too. 1 Like |

these asian and arab countries are doing far better than us |
Re: Was Any Asian Or Arab Country Colonized by Nobody: 3:46pm On Jun 12, 2017 |
onila:They are one-language countries. The Arab countries speak Arabic. China speaks Chinese. Korea speaks Korean. Nigeria speaks 400 different languages. That is currently a weakness, but it is up to us to turn it into a sthrength. Nobody will do it for US. United we stand, divided we fall. Africa hadn't evolved to a certain level before colonialism placed us in a time warp. But like Singapore, we can turn that to our advantage if only we can throw away the yokes of tribalism. |

onila:The way other African states colonized and treated was worse than others. This has huge negative effect to present day. How can you say Ethiopia economy isn't doing well compared to other African nations when it's the fastest growing in Africa? Yes, economic growth doesn't mean economic development, but it leads to development if it's used for the growth is used for infrastructure developments. Just give us 15 to 20 years and we will reach prosperity in many departments. We were great yesterday, we are in depression now and we will come to where we belong(greatness) tomorrow. |
