Inglorius Empire by Shashi Tharoor. You can make an arguement either way. Indentured servant or slave. Maybe India wouldn't be what it is today without British rule. I would contrast it with how Italy occupied Somalia. I bet it would be a more prosperous place if they had been there longer. The same with Libya. Italy has paid reperations to Libya for almost 100 years for occupying Libya. One can argue that too would be in better shape today if Italians had more time there.
Wow, how quaint, some European trying to help us savages. Do you believe the Swedes should run Italy, I'm sure Italy would of prospered more. You wouldn't of needed to send your criminally minded hordes fleeing to the ' new world' with their degenerate Mafia ways.
"*** to (nearly) everyone else; I'm kidding
And still indentured isn't the same as slavery.
***Quick check to see if your Libya 100 years of reparations, stacks up. As I definitely found hard to believe. In 2008 , Italy agreed to pay 5bill. I bet this was a oil trade deal but Gadaffi made Italy kiss his / Libya's butt.
