Examining a series of El Niño-induced droughts and the famines that they spawned around the globe in the last third of the 19th century, Mike Davis discloses the intimate, baleful relationship between imperial arrogance and natural incident that combined to produce some of the worst tragedies in human history. Late Victorian Holocausts focuses on three zones of drought and subsequent famine: India, Northern China, and Northeastern Brazil. All were affected by the same global climatic factors that caused massive crop failures, and all experienced brutal famines that decimated local populations. But the effects of drought were magnified in each case because of singularly destructive policies promulgated by different ruling elites. Davis argues that the seeds of underdevelopment in what later became known as the Third World were sown in this era of High Imperialism, as the price for capitalist modernization was paid in the currency of millions of peasants’ lives.

Just shows what lightweights Hitler and Stalin were compared to what the European empires were up to for hundreds of years.

It’s the concentration of mass murder & repression through increased state power which the extreme ideologies were responsible for that is the egregious distinction. Imagine that going on for centuries.
However, the Brutish Empire was an enormous inspiration for those newer despotisms.

The third world is in the state it’s in because of the stupidity of their own populace and the corruption of their own governments.
