Don't forget the massive exploitation of the Global South for cheap resources and labour that allowed them to advance themselves at the cost of massively empoverishing the vast majority of the chain of production they relied on. Or in other words, they stole everyones futures for advancing only themselves.
Absolutely, but much of that was made possible by US coming out as a superpower from WW2. Without that, western colonialism would've crumbled a long time ago.
