I wanna see receipts!
depends on how you gauge detrimental. Some were in there for a short time or a small area but packed a bigger punch e.g. Belgium, or Italy, but there overall legacy may have been limited.
i would probably go for Belgium and King Leopold

Germany.. they rarely teach or speak about about the Herero and Nama genocide of Namibia.
''In January 1904, the Herero people, led by Samuel Maharero and Nama Captain Hendrik Witbooi, rebelled against German colonial rule. In August, German General Lothar von Trotha defeated the Herero in the Battle of Waterberg and drove them into the desert of Omaheke, where most of them died of dehydration. In October, the Nama people also rebelled against the Germans, only to suffer a similar fate.
Between 24,000 and 100,000 Herero and 10,000 Nama died. The first phase of the genocide was characterized by widespread death from starvation and dehydration due to the prevention of the retreating Herero from leaving the Namib Desert by German forces. Once defeated, thousands of Herero and Nama were imprisoned in concentration camps, where the majority died of disease, abuse, and exhaustion.''
Cacs been going into native lands and exterminating people since before the history books were made.
And catch this:
In 2004, the German government recognized and apologized for the events, but ruled out financial compensation for the victims' descendants. In July 2015, the German government and the speaker of the Bundestag officially called the events a "genocide" and "part of a race war". However it has refused to consider reparations.
They literally only said ''sorry'' for a damn genocide.
