before imperialism Europe was prosperous

As in the 15th century? That's just completely untrue. Especially considering that the worst Imperialists, the Anglo-Saxons, were dirt-poor while the ones which don't really care either way and are now outright siding with the PRC, the Mediterranean, were the richest and cared the least for it. Even among Europeans there is a correlation between past poverty and present reliance on Imperialism.
