The highly addictive drug will also make drug-abuse a problem for the colony, which will not lead to overall benefits. Some, like Albert Sauvy, knew that the practices were vile, so they began to promote decolonization. Sauvy wrote L'observateur, an article expressing anti-colonial thoughts. This taught many people, even citizens of France, that colonizing other territories is not prominent, as he questions, "Have we become the Gestapo in Algeria?" (Prashad, 6). However, the French minister Sarraut makes decolonization difficult, due to his belief of only Europeans being able to rule land, "Since only Europeans could count as competent users of God's nature, only they could own it" (Prashad, 5). The way France mandated Vietnam was too selfish that rebels began to suicide, showing how badly they wanted to escape the captivity France held them in.
As the highest-ranking Imperialist country during the age of Imperialism, Britain also utilized other countries benefitting itself more, and being inconsiderate of others. India was vital to Britain's growth, and Britain made sure that India was under direct control, "India possessed excellent opportunity to obtain raw materials, and it was even referred to as 'jewel in the crown'" (Imperialism: Great Britain, Google). Such laws like the Charter Act of 1813 granted Britain full control of India. This, however, granted India the ability to obtain more money to finance education. Tasks were only completed to grant the benefits that the colonial-master would receive. When issues arose, Britain did not take cultures from different backgrounds into consideration. Issues like how the Arabs revolted during World War II forced Britain to take the easy way out as they "judged the support of the Arab population in the Middle East as more important than the establishment of a Jewish homeland, and shifted to a pro-Arab stance" (British Empire, Wikipedia).
