By the same argument the US would have a lot better if it had stayed as a British colony.Yes we can know. They'd still be living in mud huts without help from the outside world.
Look at New Guinea for a perfect example.
Take a look at china, it has never been a colony and it has had a remarkable development.
They were ahead of all of us,yet Europeans managed to progress.
Whats the hold up in africa?
I would argue colonialism disrupted their development, they will probably achieve the current development of the US in the next 50 years.
Given the huge investments China is making it will be interesting to see if they follow a colonialist approach or if they treat african countries as their peers accelerating even more their development.
