#1 Yup. Pretty much. Africa was wrecked because the nations of Europe wanted it that way. It's highly profitable to extract their resources for pennies on the dollar, create goods with them, and then sell the goods back at inflated prices. Why do you think developed nations are wealthy?

#2 ...and then sell the goods back at inflated prices.

Or they could, you know, decide not to buy them.

#7 While the history of Africa is complex (like anywhere else), Spike the Hairy6811 isn't totally wrong here. The French never really gave up their empire in Africa. The Françafrique is still very much a going concern, and Paris still picks the leaders and controls the currency of many African nations.
