*Where did British colonial loot go?*

As at 1938, during the end of colonialism in India, British loot in India was pegged at minimum of $45trillion.

$45trillion loot, just in one country.

But how many countries did Britain colonized and looted from?

90.

If British looted $45trillion in just one, out of the 90 countries it colonized, can we really place a value on the economic value of British loot during the colonial era?

That's not the focus of this piece.

What is Britain's GDP today, 75years after looting $45trillion from 1 of the 90 countries it colonized?

According to 2020 data, Britain has $2.7trillion GDP.

If you calculate it properly, Britain's current GDP is 1/17 of the countries loot from India.

The question one would then like to ask is that, where did Britain loot go?

I'm tired of all these blames.

What stopped blacks from exploring?

What stopped africans from sending delegates to the land of the Portuguese merchants when they first came as traders and trying to learn their technology to bring g back home?

We need to look inwards and examine why all black nations in and out of Africa are failing.

If the blacks behave like the Asians who prove they can create a modern society for their people the whites will respect us.
