Oh, really?

What about plantations? Who worked there? Sigh, under each stone of European squares you can find 1kg of gold that came from the "third world".

[krzyk]

OK, so which West countries had plantations? Did Germany have them? Yeah, first ones in 1884 and lost all of them in 1914. And it was most industrialized country.

[soperj]

Unification into the German Empire didn't happen until 1871. The parts that were industrialized were part of France. Germany itself didn't undergo a massive industrialization until a century after Britain.

I guess you're talking about America. There is a reason why the slave based economy of the South was much less developed than the North.
