What would the world turn out if the British hadn’t dominated the world? Wouldn’t it be worse if Mongolia or China controlled the New World, or if Spain had colonised all of the Americas?

Many indigenous tribes would still have their land. Palestinians would still have their land. Many African countries and India wouldn't have their resources and cultural artifacts stolen from them. They might have become the richest and most prosperous countries in the world in that timeline.

>resources
What resources specifically? Bauxite? Magnetite? Phosphates? What proportion did they take? Did they nearly exhaust reserves? Or just take a few percentiles?

And so on. Are you aware that Britain extracted trillions in wealth from India alone?

Jews wouldn't have that much power currently, that's for sure.

How does exporting tea 100 years ago mean Africa and India cannot develop their economy today? Did it permanently handicap these countries in some way? Why were some countries like the Asian tigers able to develop in 30 years despite being more disadvantaged than India and Africa at the end of ww2? Don't say lack of foreign aid since we both know they have received an enormous amount of foreign aid for decades longer than South Korea.

>textile
The only time these countries were significant textile exporters was before the 19th century and in the past 50 years, so that statement is false and does not explain how it would lead to significant change in the world.

>Are you aware that Britain extracted trillions
Yeah, that meme circulating that Britain stole 50 trillion or whatever which is based on flawed mathematics assuming perfect compound interest. It is false also.

You need to actually think about what you are saying instead of just spouting memes you picked up off twitter or reddit.
