Can I get some reading recommendations on the history of colonialism/imperialism in Africa? Anything to do with the meme (about France) would be cool also. I’m not familiar with Euro history so anything to dunk on my lib Euro friends is also appreciated.

    Any time some Euro starts making noise, just talk about Algeria. France retained Algeria as it was considered part of France despite rapid decolonization of its former territories. It was a fucked up war in a fucked up century of fucked up wars, so that's saying something.
