you've gone a little too far backwards, there was no US in the 15th century.
every single scholastic and economic brief or paper clearly shows the permanent damage the WTO and the structural adjustment programs of the IMF and World Bank have had on the 3rd world, and like everything else it is 100% intentional.
the UK and the east indian trading company did the exact same thing to China in the 1800's with opium instead of weapons and cash to warlords like they did in say Africa.
and now we are doing it again in the middle-east by destabilizing the region. a unified arab nation with all that oil would be the coup de gras to the petro dollar.
I was referring to all races over the known history of the world.
Also, you have to ask why they weren't messing in our stuff? Why was it the West over the them? The answer to that plays into my point in this discussion.
