Empire of Thieves: Europe’s Plundering Past

The colonization of Africa by European powers during the 19th and early 20th centuries is widely regarded as one of the most significant and exploitative events in modern history. This period, known as the “Scramble for Africa,“ involved European nations competing to dominate and exploit the continent’s vast resources. In simple words, European stole Africa’s vast resources. The colonization of Africa by European powers was marked by significant exploitation and abuse, driven by technological superiority, economic greed, and strategic ambitions. The consequences of this period continue to affect Africa today, highlighting the need to understand and address the historical injustices of colonialism. Given the importance and complexity of this subject, this video is divided into two parts: the first part examines the historical perspective of European colonization, while the second part delves into the detailed impact on Africa. We will publish the second part of this video tomorrow.
