I love this kind of "mini documentaries" because they all boild down to the same thing:

"So, this country was insanely rich and advanced and was the best country in it's neighboring area. But it was ruled by White people, and they were evil and colonialist and imperialist and evil. So they were ousted by the righteous natives.
Either way, immediately after that, everything went to hell, and the country is now the biggest shithole in the world. And this is somehow fault of the imperialistic colonial powers that left power 50 years ago."

  @Spooke this one is also pretty cool, from the same guy, and he can't stop coping.
  
  "So, yeah, this place was the richest colony in America, and was more valuable than the entirety of Latin America, and it had very advanced infrastructure and was modern and awesome, and it was the stage for the only succesful slave revolt in the known world, which brought in a lot of optimism of a new era ushered by the new rulers.
  Now it's a huge shithole and the poorest country in the western world, and it's solely the fault of the rest of the world."

  1. How The World Destroyed Haiti

See important Masterworks disclosures: masterworks.com/cd Haiti currently finds itself in the midst of an extraordinary and heartrending crisis. Its government has virtually lost all control, with 90% of the capital dominated by brutal gangs, while 40% of the population faces the dire threat of starvation. Today, Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, a fact that might lead you to believe it has always been steeped in poverty. However, this wasn't always the case. Once upon a time, Haiti was the most prosperous colony the world had ever seen. Its economy overshadowed the newly-founded United States and was more valuable than the combined New World holdings of the Spanish Empire. For a time, it was the most valuable piece of land on Earth – but this wealth came at a horrifying human cost. Haiti's prosperity was built on the backbone of an exceptionally violent and brutal form of slavery. This grim reality, however, paved the way for the largest and only successful slave revolt in history. As the second free nation in the Americas, Haiti overflowed with hope and optimism for a future shaped by and for its people. So, how did this once unimaginably wealthy land transform into a devastatingly impoverished nation? – Contents of this video -------------------------------- 00:00 - Haiti - A Nation in Crisis 04:47 - The Most Profitable Colony Ever 09:52 - Independent but Alone 16:10 - The Double Debt 19:20 - The Occupation 24:43 - Unchecked Power 27:53 - The Rhyme of History ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THIS CHANNEL IS MADE POSSIBLE WITH THE HELP OF PATREON!

  1. Zimbabwe says foreign white farmers can apply to get back seized land
    
    from Reuters Staff
    
    Foreign white farmers settled in Zimbabwe whose land was seized under Robert Mugabe can apply to get it back and will be offered land elsewhere if restitution proves impractical, the government said on Monday.

  @Spooke @Suzu It's a cycle in Africa, they drive the white people out with genocidal fervor, begin to starve, and then beg that new ones come in to fill the gap their own native farmers could never hope to support

  @Suzu Strange that the golden age of so many countries began with the expelling of jews while the downfall always seems to begin with the genocide of Whites
