Yes, the two World Wars were effectively collective suicide by the major European powers (UK, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary and Italy).

Suicide implies something specific happening in a short time.

EU (which is what you presumably mean by "europe") has its own problems, but it do so much in such a short time. UK got close with Brexit, but that's like a single event compared to probably dozens by now by the US in last 2 years.

But you won't see any of that if best you could do was some weak whataboutism.

I think OP was talking in the past tense because they were referring to the rapid decolonization in the 50s. It must have felt similar to some Europeans at the time.

For the UK, at least, decolonisation was strongly beneficial - indeed, the post-1870 "New Imperialism" wave of colonialism was likely always a net negative for the country, even in the glory days before the Great War.

Individuals certainly profited by it, but Macmillan's post-Suez 'Audit of Empire' showed that the UK as a whole did not - not really a huge surprise, given that Adam Smith had argued that the financial benefits were illusory over 180 years earlier.
