People unironically believe this. It infuriates me.

>Bosnia is poor becau...

Yup, that's right, bosnians just didn't put enough effort on getting rich.

>Brazil is rich beca-
oh wait

Germany is rich because they stole Dutch gold during WW2.

what about the 13 000 tonnes of gold and 100 000 tonnes of silver were taken by Spain from Peru exploiting ameridians to death for the extraction process?

>industrialization wasn't fueled by imported resources

Colonialism and trade was unironically the reason Britain became what it was/is. Only ameridumbs think they beat a super power but Britain only because one after it got power in Asia

Spain did not improve its economy because of "muh gold", Peruanito.

Brazilian gdp per capita
>8.649,95
Bosnian gdp per capita
>4.708,72

Richer than you, Muhamed.

That just ruined Spanish economy and Spain was less developed in comparison to the rest of the West.

Most of these resources came from India and Asia. You really think the West African coast is rich?

Yeah, trade and colonies in India not in Africa, which they only acquired after they had beaten every other European coutry. Africa was just a burden to every nation. What did the French get from having large swaths of Sahara and some inhospitable tropical jungle? Nothing.

that gold and silver are still on the european economy , backing the euro money.

>only the West colonized

>13 000 tonnes of gold
That's less than 1 billion dollars.

I think the cause of all of the growth was that colonialism opened up a vacuum to grow in, not because of any particular resource or reason.

It went to russia, and god knows if the Ivans used the gold or If it is still in Russia.

industrialization was fueled by swedish steel

>gdp two times larger for country 160 times larger

It certainly is what made them relevant. Compare Western Europe before colonialism, during it and after it. Today colonialism has been replaced by globalism, which provides comfy lives for 1st worlders but has it's downsides (mass immigration, erasure of national identities).

in fact peruvian gold saved europe from the nazis, during the spanish civil war, peruvian gold in Spain were given to the soviet union by communist spaniards, later that peruvian gold was used by the Soviet union as payment for the Lend-lease plan with the USA in exchange of weapons, weapons and tanks that helped the soviets win on Stalingrad and repel the nazis at the gates of Moscow.

Why do Brazilians drink so much oil?

I guess that's why France is the richest country in Europe.

Western europe is wealthy because they industrialized 50-100 years prior to everyone else

We gave it to the swiss and murricans, sorry bro.

These sound like LatAm conspiracy theories guys.

Don't worry guys. We will help the third world to become rich and good!

did you know that Hitler payed his airplane ticket in Argentinian gold?

Yeah that's part of why Europe is wealthy. What's your point?

If only user...

yes, clearly finland is prosperous because of their colonies

Argentina is white

>industrialization wasn't fueled by imported resources
The California gold rush in this country wasn't responsible for the massive industrialization in the northeastern United States. Industrialization was linked to manufacturing of trade goods, vehicles and tools (guns, trains, ships, furniture, axes, etc.)

Sweden and Finland still colonize Sami territory to this day and steal their resources.

pfff
13000 tonnes X 1000 = 13 000 000 kg
13000000 kg X 1000 = 13 000 000 000 gr
13 000 000 000 / 11gr = 11 818 181 811 ounces
11 818 181 811 ounces X 1300 usd = 15 363 636 354 300 usd (around 15 trillion dollars (2017 gold value) were taken from Peru during 300 years of colonization)

Gdp per capita, can't you read?

Our cunt have 300 years of western civilization, in this 300 years, we had at least 4 coup d'etats, but still we're a giant market, while you guys rely on war crimes to keep your lights on.

What's the main product of exportation from Bosnia? Goats?

Well they are surrounded by dozens of countries to trade with that had colonies.

Consider yourself reminded.

meant for

Spain was extremelly relient in outside sources and was "poor" in many ways.
For example, the land given to reconquista warlords was often not farmed at all. You had thousands of kilometers of land that werent used because the landlord nobleman didnt really need to farm it. Even in andalucia there are still huge latifundios that are partly abandoned

>What did the French get from having large swaths of Sahara and some inhospitable tropical jungle?
beurette pussey

Not defending here, but what is your main export? Fruit?

our main export is cocaine.
do you like cocaine? do you consume cocaine? pls do it.

and samis are encroaching on kvän territory, get over it

My guess would be beef. They've cut down a lot of forest for beef.

Do people in South America even do much cocaine themselves or does it all go to export?

>Spain
>ordnung

I mean why are they so averse to it ?

Electricity, alumininum and steel, household items, machine parts etc.

>europ*oids and whit*oids trying to wash their hands of all the pain and suffering, and abuse and exploitation, and murder, slavery and genocide their countries commited through history to enrich themselves.

dindu nuffin

he said per capita dummy
>tfw a monkey is wealthier than a BosniANO

Soy, meat, celulosis, iron, airplanes, cars, coffe...

Cocaine is for faggots and the cloaked repeating digits man.

>beef
Regarding SA, Argentina comes to mind.

So mostly grown or mined resources.

It's expensive as fuck in Brazil...

It gets worse...

Bosnia have a density of 69 hab./km2 with the gdp per capita of 4.708,72 USD

São Paulo have a density of 180,28 hab./km2 with the gdp per capita of 13,054 USD

pff

In 2016 we sold 382.448.057 USD in beef and 408.316.820 USD in airplanes

atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/bra/
According to this about 2% is from airplanes, while 10% is soybeans alone.

Actually, we sold 3.532.371.048 in soy...

It says our gdp per capita is 15.100...

weird...
