The colonies of western European powers have been completely lost. Why did the American and Russian colonies lose almost nothing?

Because in fact, the western European powers went to colonize all over the world solely for the purpose of developing their own economy. The United States and Russia are purely for expanding their territory. So under such circumstances, almost all western European powers lost their colonies after World War II. Only the United States and Russia have almost no losses. It is also because the American and Russian colonies are basically not far from their motherland. The colonies of western European powers are completely global development.

The colonies of western European powers have always been scattered. Europeans have always used American colonies as transportation places for raw materials. Continuously transport industrial raw materials to the European continent. Therefore, the colonial choice in Europe at that time was to choose a colony that was conducive to the economic development of Europe, instead of choosing the nearest colony like the United States and Russia.

The development of many countries in the United States actually had a lot to do with the colonization at that time, and the colonization of many old feudal countries in Europe. Many countries in the Americas have indeed developed, but this development is only a short-term development and has not formed a virtuous circle. They have no complete industrial system and no basis for industrial development. They only have agricultural products, because the former colonists only used these places as production bases of raw materials and agricultural products, and there are colonial forces representing capitalism in the United States and Britain.

Britain used to use colonies as a sales market for its products. In fact, British colonization did not want to expand territory, but simply wanted to gain and seize the market. Therefore, in this case, the colonial conference of British colonies developed better than other countries. The American and Russian colonies actually just want to expand their territory.
