Why are French African colonies are so poor?

...

The French put in too much effort trying to teach them things instead of taking the Belgium route of slaughtering half and putting the rest to work in the mines.

Because despite their claims that they were a benevolent Empire, bestowing liberty and equality and fraternity at gunpoint, the French were pigs who leeched their colonies dry. They've spent the last fifty years calling the British 'capitalist pigs' to try and hide their imperialist perfidy.

Your pic is enough

So why is this here?

Fuck out here, man

Go make this shit thread on /pol/

Vietnam is doing well.

...

Vietnam and Quebec are doing well, Sandniggerstan and Niggestan are doing bad for obvious reasons tho

Vietnam is literally in the level of- if not below- the Philippines.

because the british were smart enough to take the good land first, then left all the desert for the frenchies to "rule" over.

And the French fucked themselves by selling half of America to Jefferson.

Point is they were damaged economically by communism and war and are growing very rapidly

>Philippine
A mulatoe state helped by America, another mulatoe state

>Vietnam
A proud that nation stood for itself and had to fight constantly to protect its sovereignty

>A proud that nation stood for itself and had to fight constantly to protect its sovereignty
Same boat with the Philippines.
>Half-chink "Mullatoes" rule the place.
>Initially helped by China and the USSR, with the USSR carrying them along til it croaked.

Who treated Africans worse, French or Belgians?

Belgian is a meme ethnicity, it is the Flemish that treated Africans badly.

French treated them well and considered as their equals.

>French treated them well and considered as their equals.


BWAHAHAHAHA

right because the congo is on par with Nigeria and Ghana

North Africa is undoubtedly doing better than most of Africa, what are you talking about?

Too bad french africa is mostly not north africa

> English colonies: The refined and civilized englishmen tried to teach natives, but the european influence was dangerous to the weak natives, so we had to put them in reserves, so they can be safe and in peace.

> French colonies: Ohhh the french erudites tried to teach them the pleasures and the joy of being civilized, but they coudnt.

> Spanish colonies: The savage and disgusting spics destroy them brutally and they didnt had any options to survive. Dagos are usless and nonwhites and so are their colonies.

Tbh the Philippines never fought a 25 year guerilla war including having the US all of WW2's ordinance on them.

They were late colonisers, so they only had patches of sand left to take.

Biggest economies in Africa

Nigeria- colonized by the British
Egypt - colonized by the British
South Africa - colonized by the British
Algeria - colonized by the French (didn't pay colonial tax)
Morocco - colonized by the French
Angola - colonized by the Portuguese
Sudan - colonized by the British
Ethiopia - independent
Kenya - colonized by the British
Tanzania- colonized by the British

So we got:
5 British
2 French
1 Portuguese
1 Independent

*6 British

lol wtf are you on about

you're just measuring population

That's per capita. I'm just using GDP nominal. Which is the size of the economy. Per capita is just the average amount of wealth per person

Which is why he said you're just measuring population you moron.

That's highly a measure of success. That's like saying 1000 people earning 1 dollar per hour live better lives than a single guy earning 900 dollars per hour. They don't, there's just more of them.
