No the point of interdependence is when its mutual. If it's about domination then sure you have one country invading another. When there is mutual interdependence then it's a massive disincentive for war.
Such a weird exchange. You used better terminology to explain what I meant ("resource interdependence") but still seem to have a different idea of what my point was.
In many cases colonialism involved making the colony dependent while extracting its resources or also as part of extracting its resources. Replacing food crops with cash crops and then importing food because it can be produced cheaper elsewhere, for example. Arguably this is even more so the case in post-colonial Africa given that regional development programmes and IMF loans usually emphasize exports (for supposedly high ROI) rather than self-sustainability.
