SO FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THESE SIMPLE THINGS COLONIALISM WAS GOOD NOT BAD

World War I was a disaster for colonialism and for Western Civilization, but World War II was the nail in the coffin of Western Civilization.

 

We could have recovered from WWI, as a Civilization.

 

That was not to be the case, and WWII erupted.

 

Even with WII, Western Civilization still had a last chance.

 

But this was the last chance, thrown away.

 

If we had not let Russia take over Eastern Europe at the end of WWII, then we would not have had the Cold War.

 

If we had not had the Cold War, then we need not have boomed and otherwise industrialized, and tried vainly and foolishly to proselytize,  the Third World.

 

If we had not needed to boom and industrialize the Third World, they would not now be in a position to threaten ourselves or each other with destruction.
