Does that still hold if you factor in low Balkan iq?

Maybe the IQ is low there because Ottoman ancestry from the colonization, like southern Spain and perhaps Italy.

doubtful. Most of those with Turkish ancestry were probably expelled in Christians' ethic cleansing of the Balkanspic.twitter.com/9TScYsT8a0

Modern Bosniak and Serbian IQ is supposedly lower than Croatian IQ, suggesting perhaps Ottoman rule did cause dysgenics.
-
IQ estimates for Balkans are not very reliable. I wouldn't make much of them without large-scale replication.
-
Also, Bosnians, Croats, and Serbs don't fare too badly abroad. They seem to do much better than MENA and Turkish communities in Germany/Nordics (regarding violent crime, economic status, educational attainment).

That stuff ain't true bro. :p http://emilkirkegaard.dk/da/?p=3174

Your data shows that Bosnians are doing much better than MENA/Turks (except for Iranians) as I suspected, and also somewhat better than Vietnamese. Yes, there is a 39% gap in crime compared to Danes. I'm not sure if Bosnian-Swedish gaps in SES are identical to Bosnian-DK gaps

Not a fan of the Balkans, but compare them to India or Bangladesh.

The question is relative to what came before. British India was advancing pretty quickly until the independence movements really kicked into high-gear after WWI.

lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_major_famines_in_India_during_British_rule … The British decimated local industries so they could sell English manufactures. They're also widely known for pauperizing cities that used to be known for their wealth, like Hastinapur. Go away.

Because no famines ever happened in India before the British came along, right?

India under British rule was richer than China at the time, and British Africa - which was under more direct British rule than India - was richer than India. But when under there own rule, Africans are poorer than Indians who are poorer than Chinese.

As a Bulgarian historian, I can suggest that being colonized by the Ottomans results in missing out on enlightenment, liberalism, industrialization, scientific revolution, and other such institutions, and the long term consequence of not having these in the core of your culture.
