[EagleAtHeart]

I'm sure most people who saw the ruins of Detroit thread were both horrified and shocked by what they saw (http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?71543-The-abandoned-city-of-Detroit). But in this post I'm going to show urban decay on an even greater level. Prepare to be astonished.

Almost all of the former colonies of European countries didn't turn out successful. South Africa might be the only exception since it had permanent European settlement. The rest experienced decay and became even more backwards after the European colonists had plundered them and leeched all of their natural resources for the benefit of their country.
