Colonization was abandoned because it was a net loss, not a net gain for Europe. If Europe never had colonies, Europeans would not have lost anything. Colonization enriched some people, not Europe as a whole. Do some research. The argument that Europe is richer because of colonization is not true. Europe is and was richer because it was a freer and more open society, had trade, had to constantly evolve and survive.  [/quote]

You are stunningly ignorant - and racist - about the impact of colonization on both the colonies and the colonizers. [/quote]
That is not argument. And how is it racist? You are ignorant if you don’t know that Europe as a whole did not benefit from colonization. Colonization enriched some people, not all all of Europe combined. And not just Europe controlled lands, Russia also controlled Afghanistan and Mongolia. Mongolia even conquered and colonized Russia itself back in the day, yet did not build any roads or hospitals, just pillaged and plundered. This is not a discussion of whether Europeans were good or bad to their former colonies, this is about Russians and Europeans and their respective citizens. [/quote]
