– The Effects

  Every war leaves a huge scar which takes more time than the time taken by the actual war to heal. The resulting recession, psychological damage, the pain to start from the beginning are just the surface of the problems faced by the nation who has just risen from the traps of being a colony.   The colonial powers just can brush aside the starvation problem they had created in the nations by blaming it on the people. They cannot take credit for making a nation democratic by ruling it for 200 years. The democracy was not given; it was snatched from the rulers. And at the end you cannot give excuses that by giving reparations, the country will use that money to invest in something evil.
