Crisis in Afghanistan. War in the Balkans. Famine in Africa. To understand today's trouble spots is to understand colonialism's legacy. For half a millennium, virtually the entire world came under the sway of empire. Critical to the rise of capitalism and even democracy, colonialism also sowed the seeds of poverty and instability around the globe.
