colonialism is what caused the poverty in places like Africa we see today. It's what caused atrocities, massacres and so much sufferings and millions of deaths for decades and that continues till today even after colonialism was gone.
or how about the occupation of countries, such as committed by the Soviets, giving what we have today; spreading and causing dictatorships like in North Korea, where millions of people now have to suffer under fat boy Kim?

yet till today all we can hate on as the 'villians' of history are the Nazis who only had their reign of terror for 5 years.

its just a side comment to my main topic, since the Soviets are often accredited along with the rest of the West for being 'heroes' of WWII

Well yes, because the Nazis were awful. But colonolism is a topic so heavily documented and criticized that you could spend a lifetime studying it and probably only get around to reading 1% of the literature.
