6:23 exactly right. Blacks are incapable of leading countries, of resembling orderly systems like Europe. As soon as the colonizers left in the 1960s, African countries fell apart. The Republic of South Africa does not even have a railway today...

You forgot to mention the African people and soldiers that joined their European governments and fought for them.

AND the colonies were basically already established by german businessmen, thus making it official was just the next step. The new reality made it necessary somehow, and also possible. Before that, Bismarck didn't like the idea of what he called a "colonial adventure"

Neat! I wonder if Bismark saw an intercontinental Empire as a detriment to the consolidate power of the newly formed German Empire.

@@liamh2255 You are correct . Colonies are expensive, and given it's location in between major expansive empires who were highly opposed to a unified German empire, Bismarck didn't want this young empire to waste it's ressources on colonies and rather use them on solidifying it's position and securing it's existence. Later the geopolitical circumstances went a bit more in favor of the Germans and a certain colonial reality had already been established by the Private German businessmen in areas that were not claimed by or of any big interest to the rivaling Europeans. This along Germanys solidified position among the other European powers made Bismarck now approve of using ressources to secure the so called "Schutzzonen" (He intentionally didn't call them "colonies"). Bismarck is rightfully criticised today, but he was also an absolute master of pragmatism. Something our modern politicians could and should learn from.

another one, Corsica is a part of france not italy since 1768, it's good until 5m30

There’s British Somaliland

I'd add to that that it's not even about Europeans vs Africans, it's about a very tiny part of the European elite not only coercing Africans but also their own populations in becoming part of their system of exploitation. Might be an unpopular opinion, but an 1850s Manchester factory worker starting to work at the age of 4 with a life expectancy at birth of 18 wasn't in any way better off than the average African. Basically work your own population to death in order to fund foreign campaigns of conquest for even more wealth and power.

Chaka Zulu, the leader of the Zulu tribe, fought many wars in the first half of the 19th century, which lead to 1.5 million deaths and at least 2 million people getting displaced. Many of the conquered tribes assimilated into Zulu. He also ordered every child under 1 and every pregnant woman to be killed, when his mother died, because he believed that everyone needed to mourn his mothers' death, and the women who had a baby recently wouldn't be sad enough. There was also a certain queen of Madagascar who was so brutal, that it is estimated her actions decreased population of Madagascar from around 5 million people to around 2.5 million. What Europeans did was not good nor justifiable in any way, but that doesn't mean that the western people are evil while the rest of the world is their victim. African people, and other people as well all around the world, could be as brutal as Europeans, and in many cases far worse (another example would be Ottoman empire and what it did to various European and/or Christian people)

​@@Maus_IndahausExactly very well said

⁠@@Maus_Indahaus You are just justifying the unjustifiable and genocides. Africans did not commit in Europe mass genocides. Whereas Europeans in Africa, DID ! The Belgians massacred and dismembered more than 10 million Congolese, that's more than the Germans with the Jews. The Germans committed a huge genocide in Namibia. 70% of the herero died. The construction of Train lines in the French and English colonies caused hundreds of thousands of deaths. So you can't come with your shameful arguments, and say "no, but wait, you were already killing each other, so it's normal that we came to kill you too"

How did spain lost most of its colonies quickly 👁👄👁

Morocco has been the Western Sahara land for more than 1 millennia, the tribe there annually gives allegeance to the sultan of Morocco, after the protectorate of Morocco ended, the amazigh tribe in the souther region joined the moroccan liberation movement to prosuit the liberation of land from the colonizer.

Morocco's monarch at the time skill and treacherously made a move to take over the Sahara during a time of power uncertainty in Spain and grabbed it all for himself. The whole world stood and stared and local population was not consulted, hence imposing a new sort of neocolonialism. The conflict has dragged on until this day

@@Fulno no, western sahara was never under morrocan rule, the only part with "complex" administration was the northern part called "tekna confederation", where they only recognise religiously the sultan authority by times. For example, in 1767 th treaty of peace and commerce betwen spain and morroco said that those tribes werent part of morrocan land. So no, they dont have historical claims to be there

Morocco, Egypt, and Tunisia were all protectorates so they werent nominally independent, and the Ottomans got kicked out of Africa in 1912 when Italy took over their Libyan vassal/protectorate

​@@Sceptonic . I don't know about neighbouring countries, but even though Tunisia was officially a part of the Ottoman Empire, it was pretty much autonomous, and has been since the late 18th century. It's fair to say that by the time French colonialism rolled around, Tunisia has already matured enough politically, which is one of the reasons French occupation wasn't straightforward and recognized Tunisia as a "protectorate" rather than a colony .However, it was the economic factor that facilitated French rule over Tunisia, debts were the death of the "Beylik Of Tunis"

@@Sceptonic Just a follow-up mate, not disagreeing

@@jawherdjelassi7606 alright

​@@Sceptoniclmao in the 19 century morocco wasent a protectorate. The kingdom was on its downfall due to recent events famines revolts and civil wars which caused a rift between morocco and European countries. Just 3 centuries before that morocco was in pare with it's European rivels it was even a colonial power that conquered the songhai Empire for gold and slaves. Morocco became a protectorate in 1912

Not many, before quinine was available.

Use the term "ruled over" tentitevely as these colonials always had a very slippery hold on power. That slippery hold is why they walked away. Controling Africa is impossible for any European country.

Yes, that was kinda the point of decolonialism. The European nations ruled over most of the world, but after WW2 they withdraw and granted independence.

Millions of Africans today are scrambling to get into Europe Simple size of nations doesn't compare to civilisation, industry, wealth etc..

​@@user-ds8rj2vc4vEurope was in ruins after ww2..

Funny this being said by a Pakistani

whats even funnier is that Pakistan was one of the richest places before the British, unlike Africa@@aadfr9422

Wasn't Tunisia and much of North Africa colonised earlier by the Arabs?

Yes ! Tunisia always held great importance to numerous civilizations throughout history due to its strategic location and its natural riches ( no fossil fuels tho lol) , hence it was a colonized by A LOT of civilizations ranging from the Romans and Vandals to the Byzantines and Arabs. The latter had the most cultural and religious impact on Tunisia though. Yet, I would argue that Tunisia is probably the most racially diverse/liberal country of the Arab World because of this very reason (Though culturally, very homologous). Few countries had as many civilizations leaving their mark as Tunisia did, which is quite apparent in Tunisian society today.

And discards other things, like African piracy and slavery over south Europeans, that many of these territories had almost no population, like Angola, South Africa, Madagascar, the region around central Africa, African Atlantic Islands, etc. P.e. North Africa ( Morocco and Egypt ) had more population that all other regions combined. Colonialism was always present when a region was sparsely populated, ( The Russian colonising the steppes, The Turkic peoples colonising central Asia and the Steppes, The Arabs colonising East Africa, The Chinese colonising the central Asia, The Thai colonising central Thailand and many many other regions.

Having no interest makes once complicit. Sheep are why they thrive.

@@CesarLuisAfonsoDias All of Africa outside of Ethiopia and Liberia were colonized. Surely you aren't claiming that every African country outside of Egypt and Morocco were sparsely populated.

True, however, they all did benefit from the enormous wealth that was generated from the colonization.

And ethopia

The reason Ethiopia wasn’t taken by a European Power is because they were considered civilized, because they were also Christian. That is why Mussolini’s view of Ethiopians is talked about, because the rest of Europe did not hold those views

@@m.c.martin That's not why Ethiopia wasn't taken. Ethiopia saw the tactics used by the Europeans against each other, and used it to their advantage. They (Ethiopia) got weapons from another European nation and used them against the Italians.

Europeans sent over half a million soldiers to colonize Ethiopia and you still say Ethiopia survived because they were Christians? what the heck!@@m.c.martin

@@jhonywalker1168 When was that?

dont hold your breath. he also forgot to mention liberia was a slave state established by the freed african americans

And for Arabs and Muslims in general. It was religious slavery and not ethnic-racial. This is why Muslims had Christian Arabs and polytheists arabs as slaves. And especially ! Muslim blacks like the mali empire, and Turks of the ottoman empire, who had Christians or polytheists Arab as slaves. Because it was all about religion. Suleyman the Magnificent, HIS WIFE, was a descendant of Christian slaves from the Balkans, and yet by converting, she had reached the highest level of the Ottoman Empire, the same for Suleyman's vizier, who was also a descendant of Slavic Christian slaves. Do you know of any kingdoms in Europe where the king's wife was a black descendant of slaves? Or a black “prime minister”? It was completely impossible. Even the most Christian and the most pious of blacks still remained a slave. Because European slavery was racial slavery. I was talking about black people who had Arab slaves, because the richest Muslim in history was a black man, Mansa Moussa, and he was extremely respected in the Muslim world, he also made the pilgrimage to Mecca. And his empire had Arabs and Berbers as slaves. In the Muslim world, a slave was someone who refused to convert to Islam. For white Europeans, a slave was someone who had the wrong skin color

Yea that was going on well before Europeans showed up. There’s a good book the argument for colonization

France helped Bengal Nawab a little bit against British east India company.

Woke liberals took over the channel

Actually the ottomans were strongly present in africa for centuries, and islam as a whole spread almost to the congo's borders and central africa, but it's that islam outright bans the enslaving and bad treatment of people that prevented them from doing what the european criminals did, however despite islamic laws banning colonization similarly to the europeans, the ultimate winner was the islamic presence, because even today we see islam in africa as far as the congo, but we don't see much european presence anymore, and what's left is being slowly eroded away, even the most historically important places of european presence in africa such as south africa are being freed slowly.

Your delusional. I hope your aware of that.

African people were already civilized. Africa is a rich and diverse continent that was once filled with strong royal kingdoms and empires. Ex. Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Asante, Benin, and kanem-bornu empires of west africa. Kingdom of Kongo, Luba Kingdom, Great Zimbabwe, Zulu Empires of central and southern africa. Kingdom of Burundi, kingdom of Rwanda, Land of Punt, Kingdom of Kush, Ancient Kemet empires of east africa and northeast africa.

😂😂😂 please relax.

🤣😂

The huts made out of shit and sticks.

It's extremely difficult to colonize a foreign people without treating them brutally. I'm not saying that makes it okay. But pragmatically speaking it is very effective. And it is really a case by case basis anyway. The Belgian Congo was ruled by demons. But in some places like South Africa there was a lot of improvements to the standards of living brought by the British.

I love it when you defend colonization. China is just colonizing tibet and xinjiang. so they are not at fault. no more protest against china please and thank you

@@gabbytay That is not what I said. I said we needed to judge actions of people against the general morals and customs of their time, not our time. War and conquest was common until the 19th, early 20th century. But it isn't today, we have even founded organisations like the UN to prevent new (world) wars. So today invading another sovereign nation is wrong.

@@gabbytay he says to judge actions by the morals and customs of the time they are done in. and it's a (sad) fact that in most of the past colonizing and slavery were just normal things, everyone (who had the power to do so) did it. in modern times (for Europe since WWII, for the Arab world since 1970) those things are now morally bad and we don't act like that anymore. so in the past it was just part of live, but nowadays we have established every countries borders and peoples and we (try) to protect the world as it is. so colonizing, slavery and subjugating an (entire) group of humans is not of this time anymore and we should remind the few places that still try to act like that that it's wrong. so in short yes, the world has every right to point at China and say that they are being wrong for it.

@@ChristiaanHW right you are saying during ww2 it was morally correct to nuke japan's innocent people. While now it is bad. Good shit. Hoe bout the USA setting bases in iraq syria and afghanistan. Neo colonialism much. It fine always when a white man does it. Such trash morals whitemen. Let not forget how the euro immigrantd almost wiped out the north americans.

Oh wait, you’re buddhist. You don’t believe in hell and heaven. That’s why you’re glamourising genocides and colonialisation

He did mention the trickery. This isnt supposed to be an in depth video about colonization in general, just the Berlin conference and how Africa was split

Its a 10 minute video my guy. Not a 2 hour documentary

Yes, the Europeans used their weaknesses against them. This is how it was, is and will continue to be globally. There is nothing special about the subjugation of the African Continent; a weaker group of peoples were taken over by a stronger group of individuals. Consider South America and most of the Pacific Islands... Or to put it another way, if the majority of Africa was NOT still living in the Stone Age, it wouldn’t have been so easy…

Go watch Jabzy's video on the history of africa from the 15th to 20th century if you want an in-depth documentary

? Where did you get that listening to what he said. The presenter is Clearly NOT a supporter of colonialism. Is this that thing where you see a racism or one-sidedness in a thing b/c you WANT TO even though one doesn't exist. It's like when a black person doesn't make it in America (even though TONS of them totally succeed) they blame racism instead of themselves for their failures. Perceived racism in America is what keeps black people from striving towards prosperity. And it's a 'Cultural Event' so as to affect just about all of them. Africans would be bow hunting right now if no outside influence had ever entered their continent. Nothing more to it than that.

Save europe from immigrants. 🥺

This isn't about those topics so grow up & stop embarrassing yourself. You're like someone complaining that a documentary on oranges doesn't also include apricots.

As a yellow man, I think this is all part of history that we need to know about. One day the white man set foot and commit crimes in africa, now the black man is everywhere in europe causing chaos lmao You can't blame yourself since poland never formed an empire, nor I should feel discriminated against because saudi arabia was never colonized, but I still feel their pain when I see the inhumane expirements in the congo when belguim took control
