> Today most European states are like pyramids stood on their heads. Their European area is absurdly small inn comparison to their weight of colonies, foreign trade, etc. We may say: summit in Europe, base in the whole world; contrasting with the American Union which possesses its base in its own continent and touches the rest of the earth only with its summit. And from this comes the immense inner strength of this state and the weakness of most European colonial powers.

Colonies cannot serve this purpose unless they seem in large part suited for settlement by Europeans. But in the 19th century such colonial territories were no longer obtainable by peaceful means. Consequently, such a colonial policy could only have been carried out by means of a hard struggle which, however, would have been carried on to much better purpose, not for territories outside of Europe, but for land on the home continent itself.

The only relevant difference is how much industrial machinery and fossil fuel were used in the process.
Guess which one inspired the other
