Why are french colonies are such eternal shitholes even in comparison to British, Portuguese and Spanish colonies? Just compare haiti with dominico
>>
Haiti is an outlier tho, because they did an oopsie with thay independence deal and now are drowning in debt
>>
>>216352471
because they lost all the good land to the brits or sold it to the americans
>>
>>216352521
That's literally every spanish speaking country in the americas kek. Their republics were born indebted to the eternal anglo which was later took over by the other eternal anglo.
>>216352471
Spanish "colonies" were pretty fucking good to live in before the independence because they had european tier cities. if you don't believe me just look at google images. French and British colonies were just exploitation colonies made to extract and not actually empires and that's why they are shitholes.
>>
>>216352471
Frogshit destroy everything. DZ was the richest place in africa and eurasia before french colonist destroy it.
Which is why they havent been able to create a single functionning society. They know just to destroy
>>
>>216352471
Quebec is fine and probably the only true french colony, everything else was too black and broken or had barely anything french
>>
I never get these kinds of threads because the reason for this is always fucking obvious. Look at the map, our empire was centered around Africa while Spain's and Portugal's were centered around the Americas, and the Uk was everywhere at once.
Of course a colony who mostly descends from europeans is gonna do better in the long run than some african shithole composed of 200 ethnicities who all hate each others and have 0 experience running a functional state. Other ex-french colonies outside of Africa fared much better, like Vietnam or Lebanon (until the later didn't lol, but for a while they were pretty much the best place to live in inside the middle east)

You have no excuses

>>216352471
I'm not sure other former British colonies in Asia or Africa are doing so much better that you could call the former French colonies inferior
Unless you're counting in the settler colonies of Canada and Australia in which case you are making a very dishonest comparison

Haiti was a slave colony in which the slaves revolted and threw out the whites and created their own republic. There is nothing in the country of Haiti that has anything to do with France, nothing of its government or economy has been inherited from the French.
Meanwhile Dominica has continuously belonged and been ruled as a country of the Commonwealth.
These two countries are absolutely nothing alike.
>>
>>216353381
Québec has been ruled by the English for the last 300 years. Pretty much nothing of Quebec's success is due to the French.
>>
>>216352471
Because the british moved to those colonies and the French didn't
The british also have a lot of shithole former colonies. Africa, pakistan, india

Compare Haiti and jamaica/bahamas. Or syria with uae/jordan. Or vietnam to Malaysia
>>
>>216353733
>Compare Haiti and jamaica/bahamas.
Refer to >>216353548

>Or syria with uae/jordan.
UAE found oil after their independence. I don't think Jordan is doing so much better than Syria.

>Or vietnam to Malaysia
You like to ignore whatever happens in a country after its independence or what its own people is doing. As if everything was entirely determined by who colonized them 100 years ago.
>>
>>216353733
Haiti had a slave revolt and has been doing its own thing for a while
Syria is only one of the many war-torn unstable shitholes in the Middle East prone to civil war
Vietnam has a bigger GDP than Malaysia
There is literally nothing special about French colonialism that magically made French colonies shitholes, it's all in your head
>>
>>216353836
Jordan is doing much better than syria
>>216353879
> Malaysia 13,901 usd per capita
>Vietnam 4,745 usd per capita
>>
>>216353997
What about Myanmar which is at 1,110 usd per capita?
>>
>>216354126
Outlier.
>>
>>216354126
No french similar analog colony in region. Maybe laos which is also shithole, but still not exact match
>>
>>216352471
haiti isn't even on the map attila
>>
>>216352471
what happens in french India aka Puducherry aka Pondicherry?
>>
>>216352471
French succeeded at learning locals French and making colonies leftist. Outside of that ...
>>
Because.......ready?....Okay.....it's because BROWN PEOPLE ARE FUCKING RETARDED
>>
>>216353578
Unironically true, if we're being honest. Quebec peaked ~1900 after a period of Anglicisation, which has since been reversed. I know that Quebecoids like to say that the most famous symbols of Candianness are from Quebec, but so too are many of the most famous symbols of Québécité ANGLO in origin
>>
>>216353393
Even within Africa, former British colonies tend to fare better than former French colonies. Although partially that may be because France had a disproportionate number of landlocked desert nations with no prospects anyway.
>>
>>216357342
Morrocco, Algeria, Tunisia are much richer than Zimbabwe or Gambia
>>
>>216352471
>Just compare haiti with dominico
Both were just as poor when the debt issue was settled in the 50s, what killed it was corruption and the support of the US to said corrupt dictator
>>
>>216357428
One thing I'd say is that lots of the colonial leaders become leftist/commies when they go to France, while the Catholic ones turn apolitical. That has strong implication on their future.
>>
>>216357428
Zimbabwe was just a bit of banter
