the claim

Colonialism caused long-term economic underdevelopment in former colonies.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Colonialism caused long-term economic underdevelopment in former colonies?

Unclear. The retrieved items offer only partial support: one peer-reviewed study argues that colonial extractive institutions persist and lock in African pharmaceutical underdevelopment, and one commentary asserts lingering long-term after effects of colonialism including economic inequality. Neither settles the general causal claim across former colonies.
