How is it that these men, who conquered so much of the world and brought primitive lands into the market, just disappeared? Did their children evolve their businesses into what we see today? Or did competing men of wealth find a way to remove the competition and conquer in a different way? E.g. post-war fast food chains in Iraq and Afghanistan, and gas stations in Ukraine.
I always found it surprising that men of power let themselves get replaced so suddenly, and not always by losing a war or through large scale sabotage. Almost as if they see these great ventures are only a segment of their business - interchangeable.
Colonialism is a problem because identity is so rhetorically powerful. One wrongly killed black by a white man is enough politically to return them to 100 times as many murders, but no one cares because of the race issue. All colonialization is a fragile establishment that world revolutionaries can and will destabilize. Roads run both ways and Rome found that out the hard way.

Often they were outnumbered and killed or chased out in the decolonization era

This is all great its just that the natives no longer have spears and bows they have ak47s and rpg’s…
We tried this in Iraq and Afghanistan, vietnam etc. modern weapons are a great equalizer.
