If countries became rich through conquest and subjugation then the Confederacy would have won the civil war, Hitler would have won WWII, the Soviet Union wouldn't have collapsed, and the PRC would have conquered Taiwan. 

No, Britain did not get rich from selling opium. They got rich from instituting a capitalist economic system that enabled the invention of the steam engine. You were a side hustle, collateral damage, and an afterthought. Fighting harder wouldn't have solved the problem
 
Every God damn century capitalists have to hash out this stupid argument with you conquest-ethic tyranny-brained people. This is the last time dammit.

The wests wealth is not in large part derived from the wests 5 centuries of subjugation of all other nations and their resources?

Same reason anyone hates the West, you fifth collumner. They're jealous that someone is richer than them.
