The policies of imperialism and colonialism by white nations, better known as the west, have been an enormous problem and a cause of consistent destabilization. These policies have been enacted based on western interests, primarily understood as the profit margin. Usually, these interests have involved extracting natural resources in other lands that can create income for businesses in western countries. The maintenance of western interests has come at a high cost for the countries western nations have “interests” in. Millions have died in those countries because of western interest in what they could extract. Western governments havegone so far as to use military force to install governments that would be friendly to western corporate interests. What France has done in Africa is a prime example of how the west created s-hole countries in places like Africa.
"Throughout history, France's interactions with Africa have been marked by a complex and often brutal relationship. With the end of slavery which France benefitted from and utilized to develop its economy to what it is today, France turned to colonization as a means of making wealth without putting in any work. France's colonization efforts were characterized by exploitation, violence, and cultural suppression. One of the most infamous instances was the brutal colonization of Algeria, which lasted for over a century. The Algerian people faced forced labor, land confiscation, and systemic violence as France sought to exploit Algeria's resources and control its economy. In its pursuit of wealth and control, France employed a range of cruel tactics across its African colonies."
