Why do Latin America and Africa struggle to develop whereas Asia was able to do so? What lessons can Africa learn from Asia?
Speaking for my country, Argentina, and Brazil i may too: Do you think we are undeveloped countries?. Lol.We are like african countries like you may stereotype them just as is Canada or France.Do this seems undeveloped?:Buenos AiresNope, not Scandinavian fjords, Ushuaia, the city at the End of the WorldNot the Alps, BarilocheRosarioCordobaMendozaWe are the leading country in nuclear isotopes world trade for medicine.We export isotope production reactor and research nuclear reactor to other countries. Like the OPAL in Australia:We produce our own satellites. Interesting fact, the NASA chose an Argentine earth observation satellite to put their most expensive observation device in the last decade in the SAC-D satellite.IMPSA SA is one of the main world exporters of hydroelectric turbines.We are a leading country in biotechnology and genetic engineering.We are an important country in medicine, pharmaceutics, vaccines and disease treatment development. Most of the surgical tools used around the world were invented by an Argentine surgeon. The disposable syringe, the hearth by-pass, the human to human blood transfusion transfusion, several cancer related development and several diseases vaccines and cures.Argentina is ranked as Very High Human Developed Index, with 0.836.One of the most highly educated countries, with 0.783 points in the UN Education Index, the lesser is 0.200 and the higher 0.927.The Literacy Rate is +98%.Low Infant Mortality Rate99% Population with access to potable water.Universal Health Coverage. You wont die because you have no money, private clinics will take care off you in emergencies without charge, and hospitals wont sent you with a terminal disease and a tablet of painkillers if you don't have insurance or money. You don't have money, you will receive an organ transplant, any surgery, any treatment because society pay so everyone can be treated. There is problems, but it works and can work better.Do we look an undeveloped country now?.Off course we have a lot of problems, there is poverty, corruption, infrastructure problems. We have lots of things to improve.
How did technological development shape human history from 12,000 bc to 15 century?
what was invented? roads, ( easier transportation of goods + war) deep ocean boats ( new worlds) just off the top of my head
Was the British empire evil?
Seems you dont understand much about history. The British Empire brought democracy and helped form some of the worlds greatest countries. Would India and Pakistan be the two great Countries they are today without the experience of British rule. I argue they would be a war torn group of small kingdoms. Much poorer than they are now without the unifying force of a common enemy. Just one example. Oh and all would have been ruled and exploited by Napoleon. Next it was the wealth of the British Empire that helped greatly to win 2 world wars and the survival of Democracy. Im not denying millions died im saying millions more would have done without it. The British Empire was a leading light in the abolition of Slavery and had the military power to enforce it. How many millions are alive today? How many Africans? As for racism dont talk rubbish try being black or muslim in Hungary, or the United States for that matter. As an American tourist said “I just couldnt get over a British Police man saying “excuse me Sir can I help you look lost” find that response in the US if your black.
