Because they thought they were profitable, at first. Over time though, they came to realise that they were more of a burden than anything. Hence Britain slowly cutting it's ties with most of its colonies over the course of the 20th century, and why the age of direct governmental colonialism inevitably came to a worldwide end.

Of course, global corporate capitalism is another story altogether... [img]smile.gif[/img]
[/QUOTE]Not really, we are talking what if here. yes, what if ( things that might happen ). As you say, Britain cutting it's ties with most of it's colonies. why? because the colonies is bleeding britain's of it's valuable monetary units. okay Now what if Germany have won, would the same problem will happen to Germany too? What if it does not happen to Germany? What if if Germany got a sound good economy plan? Remember, the question is what if. in what if, anything can happen.
