Dude, it's just a Trail of Tears situation. No forced exiling is pretty, but at least it's not fucking enslavement where missing a fucking rubber quota is punishable under penalty of mutilation or death, or an entire genocide of entire islands for the sake of a nutmeg monopoly.

The nutmeg one was the Dutch, not the Belgians.

I never said the latter was Belgian.

If I had to guess all that information came out after the fact around the Second World War to try and justify anti-German propaganda.

1.) No

2.) Blaming Belgium for the Congo situation is a bit silly. It was the property of the King personally who treated it as a pan-european company. The unit which committed most of the atrocities (Force Publique) was made up primarily of local Africans and Germans (shocker).

The tier of what colonial power you wanted to be occupied by, from most to least, is basically

>France
>Britain, US, Netherlands
>Italy, Portugal
>Spain, Russia
>Belgium
>Germany
>Japan

So congratulations, Germany is now the tallest midget when it comes to colonial atrocities. Still doesn't mean it didn't fucking suck.

No, Germany enslaved the survivors and committed horrible experiments on them and rapes too.

Still under Leopold's and his managements control. Also it wasn't only Germans

>ITT: People yet again desperately trying to push the tired "All Germans Are Nazis" narrative

You know, you could paint literally any culture as one-dimensionally evil like this. Why not try All English Are Puritans, or All French Are Jacobins? I bet you'd get the best results trying for something like "All Americans Are Slave Drivers" or "All Russians Are Communists"

>not italy

I read that since the cities and stuff in colonies were "scratch-built" compared to the old cities in Italy, they were very modern and smartly designed. The blacks in the colonies were apperently well treated too and continued fighting for Italy in WW2 after they had lost east-africa as a guerilla force out of loyalty. They even recieved pension money from Italian government after the war.
>>

"Except for the German parachute division in Italy and the Japanese in Burma no enemy with whom the British and Indian troops were matched put up a finer fight than those Savoia battalions at Keren (Eritrea). Moreover, the Colonial troops, until they cracked at the very end, fought with valour and resolution, and their staunchness was a testimony to the excellence of the Italian administration and military training in Eritrea"

>The blacks in the colonies were apperently well treated too

They were treated like shit though.

>after they had lost east-africa as a guerilla force out of loyalty.

no they did it because being an Italian soldier is the only way for an African to make money in Italian East Africa.
>>
>>2586311
The only reason why the "they were treated well" is told is because Italy's foray into Africa has very little presence in Italy, it's barely taught that well over there and worldwide in general no one has any interest in those areas.

Every time.

So how's highschool treating you, anon?

>>2585591
France was one of the worst, along with Portugal. Britain and Germany were probably the best. Netherlands was pretty bad, too.

They were built to extract resources from the colonies, not to facilitate travel.

They would be contemporary as that photo appears to be taken in the 30's.
>>
>>2585591
Denmark was even better IMO, all they did when they colonized Greenland was basically build a couple of churches and hunt whales. They mostly got along pretty well with the natives. Netherlands should be lower IMO, I'm Dutch and we were pretty hard on the Indos. Read Max Havelaar if you're interested.
