If it weren't for us and the tech advancemet from the West, they'd still be in the 10th century.

I'd take issue with this statement - the happy position that the west occupies at the moment is largely based on the huge wealth built up during the great Imperial days of Europe. Empires that were built on the back of exploiting distant regions for their human and natural resources.
It should be us thanking them, not the other way around.
