Answer:In a way the practice of imperialism in Asia and Africa substantiates this statement because the Europeans didn't know exactly what they would be stumbling upon, only that it was different than their everyday, usual resources. They couldn't have fully anticipated what they would find which would make the success of their colonies an absolute accident.
