      That seems pretty dubious. They started their colonies 30 years before they lost WWI, I don’t think they had enough time to extract enough to make a dent compared to their home industrialization

      The colonies didn’t really matter for the economy in Germany. It did matter for concentrating capital in certain parts of the capitalist class though.
