My personal view is that military adventures were generally a drag on economic growth that never paid for themselves. People at the time argued slavery, resource exploitation and trade were economically important and could only happen through imperial strength. But I’d argue that 1) those things generally happened anyway post independence 2) labour / resource costs aren’t that important for long run economic growth. |
