Contrary to popular belief, the European colonization of the Americas was made possible not by the Europeans having superior technology, but by the inadvertent introduction of pathogens from the Eastern Hemisphere that had not previously been present in the Americas.

This accounts for the fact that when the Europeans were colonizing the Americas in the 1500s and 1600s, they were not also colonizing Africa and Asia (with a few exceptions). It was not possible for the Europeans to colonize most parts of Africa and Asia at the time, because the people there already had the same technologies and the same diseases that the Europeans had.

Of course, Europeans did end up colonizing Africa and Asia, but not until the 1800s. This was suddenly possible then, when it hadn't been earlier, because the Industrial Revolution happened to begin in Europe then. Within just a few generations, industrial technology also spread to the rest of the world, but by then the Europeans and people of European descent had managed to establish their preeminence in world affairs.

The economic, military, and technological superiority of the countries of Europe and of people of European descent traces back only as far as the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s. Before that, Europeans had no advantages over the countries of Asia and Africa.

Most people assume that African migrants are poor, broke, desperate Africans. On the contrary, many African migrants are well-to-do, middle-class Africans who live a good live in their countries. So, why are they leaving their good life behind to (oftentimes) suffer in the US and Europe?


Many Africans migrating to US are well-to-do at home so, why are they leaving Africa?

This discussion dives into the pivotal role that China's historical lessons, particularly from the Opium Wars, play in shaping its modern financial and technological dominance. As silver flowed into China in the 18th and 19th centuries but rarely left, the nation’s self-sufficiency spurred tensions with Europe, leading to the Opium Wars. The result? A century of humiliation that remains a crucial part of Chinese education and self-perception today. Fast-forward to the present, and China, once weakened by colonial interference, has emerged technologically ahead of the West. However, the conversation touches on whether the West’s recent attempts, such as tariffs, could spark similar consequences in today's global economy.https://coppernicometals.com/TSX:COPRFor more content from VRIC host Jay Martin, please visit The Commodity University at https://thecommodityuniversity.com/Sign up for Jay’s newsletter at https://jaymartin.substack.com/subscribe
