Mostly, yes. China and some of the Indian principilities would be exceptions, though one could quibble over what 'found' constitutes. But the notion that Western Civ owes its success to theft is so historically illiterate as to disqualify that person as in any way notable.

Babylons payback described in revelations

The world was dead broke and the west stole from other countries are not very related statements. Both can be true at the same time (they are).

Why search for anything that is dead broke? Theres nothing wrong with being rich, but one shouldn't rob a bank to get rich. Means are as important as the end.

Portugal and Spain are not exactly rich after their experience as uber-colonialists

Well... no. That's not exactly right. There were people here, and gold. Nothing that really meant a whole lot to the people here, but it was boundless riches to the conquerors. Don't intentionally misrepresent history.

The world would still be broke without Africa and India!
