Decolonisation: A better strategy for Europe

French, England and other European countries met to colonise and divide up Africa and other parts of the world.

And they met to decolonise Africa and other parts of the world but maintain control of currency, natural resources (such as oil, gold, diamond, bauxite, minerals, etc) and install puppet governments.

The funds of the newly independent countries had to go through European central banks, such as in France, where they are heavily taxed and these independent countries only had access to about a third of the funds deposited.

As a result, Western Europe uses the funds in any way they liked and continue to flourish post colonisation and the newly independent countries remain poor and in high debt.

France, like England, etc, punished countries economically and militarily who doesn’t participate or try to get out of the one sided win-lose decolonisation forced traded agreements.

Europe should immediately cancel all win-lose decolonisation trade agreements and establish win-win trade agreements. Europe should immediately repay 100 percent the funds acquired during the one sided win-lose trade agreements or at minimum implement a repayment plan with a reasonable repayment period.

Europe gets resources from the newly independent countries at rock bottom prices and sell it at a premium earnings high profits.

While the newly independent countries are celebrating independence, European leadership is laughing all the way to the bank.

No wonder Europe is so beautiful even after the WWII devastation.

When you think about it, decolonisation was a better strategy for Europe than colonisation.

France, England, etc troops were overextended across the colonies which gave Hitler the advantage in Europe.

There are so many benefits for Europe in decolonisation:

• Gets to keep their troops home for better security.

• Gets to cut the cost of having troops and other personnel in the colonies.

• Maintain control of natural resources in the “independent” countries.

• Keeps the “independent” countries economies stagnant.

• Gets to paint an image of Europe being the good guys.

• Absolve all blame for the “independent” country economic failures.

• Makes huge profits.

In conclusion, Europe should immediately cancel all win-lose decolonisation trade agreements and establish win-win trade agreements. Europe should immediately repay 100 percnet the funds acquired during the one sided win-lose trade agreements or at minimum implement a repayment plan with a reasonable repayment period.
