Would you say its fair that the governments of many post colonial states mirrored the colonial governments placed on them. Meaning low representation and primarily focused on resource extraction at the cost of the of the majority of the population. It seems to me that is true, but the colonial goverments lacked the resources and expertise to do this properly.

Also, the picture is just a funny post colonial one and not to be the center of attention he was a little after the point im thinkong of
Depends.
Mumbutu copied divide and conquer techniques and focused on extraction of wealth.
Nacruma actually spent a ton of money on factories and power generation for Ghana. He got scammed by developers though and most projects failed miserably.
There are other instances of post colonial leaders trying to rapidly industrialize but they didn't have the capacity to do it.
>>3102473
I think it unfair to talk of governments like they are one man affairs, even strongman dictators. Also Nkrumah may have had different goals, but his government wound being just as exrractive as any other post colonial. And Mobotu's regime did in many way mirror the Belgum one except a little more cult of personality centered arround Mobotu.
Were there any historical attempts to reunify Bolivar's Gran Colombia after its dissolution in 1831?
>>3102339
The CIA unironically contemplated it to have less local leaders to maintain. They even lined up a bunch of Bolivar's descendants for a hereditary dictatorship though only had their addresses.

That's interesting. What about the 19th century, when the memories of the federation were still fresh?
Well if Venezuelans can't get their act together we'll might be well on our way to a union of Colombia and Venezuela
What about this, /his/?

The 2nd North African Infantry Division (French: 2e Division d'infanterie nord-africaine, 2e DINA) was a French Army formation during World War II.
The Division was created in March 1936 and was dissolved in May 1940 following the invasion of France. The Division was commanded by Generals Fernand Lescanne (to January 1940) and Pierre Dame.[1]
During the Battle of France in May 1940 the division was made up of the following units:
11 Zouaves Regiment
13 Algerian Tirailleurs Regiment
22 Algerian Tirailleurs Regiment
92 Reconnaissance Battalion
40 North African Artillery Regiment
240 North African Artillery Regiment.
It was an active division which existed during peacetime. The Zouaves Regiments were made up from European settlers in Algeria and some recruited from France. The other regiments were made up of native troops from Algeria.

>Using an ABC modeling approach Nakagome et al., predicted that the light-pigmentation allele at rs12913832 emerged around 42,000 years ago or earlier; a date close in time to the initial peopling of Europe. A plausible scenario of the origin of the blue-eye mutation that reconciles our results with findings from other studies is one where this variant appeared in an ancestral population before the ancestors of the WHG migrated from Near East into West and Central Europe."
>Light-skin pigmentation alleles, possibly ~22,000-28,000 years ago.
>"The large effect light-skin alleles at rs16891982 and rs1426654 were present in SHG, EHG, CHG and EEF but absent in WHG and PEHG.
Similarly, the C11 haplotype is present in huntergatherers (SHG, EHG and CHG but not WHG and PEHG) throughout Europe, as well as in at
least two early farmers. This pattern is consistent with reports that the rs1426654 derived allele arose ~22,000-28,000 years ago, and that the light-pigmentation allele at rs16891982 arose only once in Eurasians. A possible geographical origin for these two major light-skin alleles is West Asia or the Near East. Later migrations across the Caucasus (CHG) and Eastern Europe would have brought it to Scandinavia, while EEF migrations introduced both alleles into central Europe."
West Asia eh?
It's only a theory. Geneticists haven't been able to predict future results based on current information ever. I think this trend will continue.

Not an argument
1.Dismiss and sage any analyses or theories of history which conflict with mainstream academia
2.Don't allow people to express opinions different from the mainstream
3. Make criticizing reddit or tumblr a bannable offense offense
4. For every thread about Europe, make sure a thread exist about Africa, Asia, Oceania, Pre-colonial America
5. Same as above, but apply it to people instead of places
6. Enforce global rule 3. Political incorrectness is not allowed on /his/.
8. No references to memes. Especially "we wuz kang."
7. Get rid of all anime. Anime is for /a/ only.

Why is the Korean war so rarely heard of when it's based as fuck?
>>3101507
It's called the forgotten war for a reason. And honestly both sides did some pretty fucked up shit. Not only did the commies commit atrocities, the South Korean regime killed hundreds of thousands of suspected leftists and communists. I.e. dissidents against the ROK.
>>3101507
>plenty of tank warfare
Only in the opening stages. Korea is too mountainous for tanks to be really effective.

Because it's overshadowed by WW2 on one chronological end and Vietnam on the other.
This is would be Japan in WW2
Perfidious Albion would have still meddled in Japan. They caused the Meiji Restoration to happen. Because the Shogunate wouldn't let them in to trade.
Japan would have become a German colony

>"How could a person forget about the plains, the meadows, watered with the blood of our forefathers; abandon those places where Turkish raiders had hidden their steeds for a full four hundred years, with our mosques, our tombs, our dervish retreats, our bridges and our castles, to leave them to our Christian slaves, to be driven out of Rumelia to Anatolia: this was beyond a person’s endurance. I am prepared to gladly sacrifice the remaining years of my life to take revenge on the Bulgarians, the Greeks, and the Montenegrans."
Was there a more unjustifiably arrogant man?
>>3100807
The funny thing is that he wasn't even a fucking Turk.
His dad was Albanian and his mom belonged to some Greek Orthodox minority.
And yet even after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and Ataturk excommunicating him he wanted to spread the pan-Turanism meme in Central Asia and try establish a Turkic state to fight the Soviets.

If you could travel back in time, become a leader of a country and change the course of history, where would you go?
I would go back to 1988, become German Emperor and create a proto-EU, and prevent the world wars
>>3100805
I'd remind Suleiman to bring cannons to Vienna and then I'd team up with the Poles before the eternal Anglo/Germs can backstab them and carve up Europe between us.
Then I'd convert the continent to Islam by the blade.
If the world wars were in 1988 than

I would go back to 1953 and stop Erdogan from taking over the Holy Roman Empire.
