Europe is not to blame

You mean oppressed nations like India, Mexico, Canada, and Australia?

The fact that the blue countries are not free has to do with their own cultures and histories, and nothing else. Each of the 4 countries I mentioned above were imperial property at one point (like, I must add, the United States itself). They made themselves free one way or another. The majority of not-free countries were never European annexes.

And in the end, it doesn't matter what the cause is. If those people don't take responsibility for freeing themselves, nobody else will.
