Africa and the Middle East were on "Our Side" for WWII at the point of a rifle, if it wasn't for 'western colonial interests' the list of Nazi allied countries would have gotten a lot longer.

The 60 years of poor relations that followed the Second World War likely play a large role in why the West is not celebrated.
