My lib history teacher made me do that too. On one column was "the British built ports in their colonies :so-true: " and the other was "fucking genocide :agony-deep:
Ports, and shit any infrastructure, specifically built and designed to export materials and goods from the colony.
"wow the Brits * gave* this country railroads!" yeah, but why is it a single rail, running from the port, to the mines, with no stops inbetween?
Note here the difference between heavily colonized countries in East Africa and a settler-colonial project like South Africa. Also note that the gauges do not match.
