That's true
But the Raj was peak India
And the Indians know it
Plus the black population in Africa in the 1900s was only 100 million
Compared to a billion today
Much easier to *actually* colonise back then than now
Having the Cape be british wasn't enough
white colonies wouldn't create white countries without some form of genocide. this was and is seen in south africa, not the country, but all of southern africa.
Rhodesia never dies
The whites didn't genocide blacks in South Africa
exept when it does
exactly
they didn't
and that's the right thing
genocide is bad, but it does mean that you don't have white countries in africa
I'm pro imperialism
I'm not, I believe that all people should have a right to self determination.
even those that are statistically worse then mine
even when we could run their countries better.
But I acknowledge that humans are tribal beings and will kill each other given enough proximity and time
So, with that in mind
I want my group to survive
And the best way the British did that was having the White dominions
ok whats the debate
Imperialism
fun
"white colonies wouldn't create white countries without some form of genocide"
I'd like to introduce you to Australia
tell me, what happened to a good portion of the abo's?
they died of disease, hardly a genocide
ignoring tas.
fuck tas
I dont care for aboriginals
Tasmanian "genocide"
They can have reservations
because deporting convicts to a island and letting them do what they want is genocide apparently
I think the term genocide I've been using is not broad enough.
an ethnic cleansing is a better term.
Yeah it's obviously ethnic cleansing
genocide implies mass murder, ethnic cleansing isn't always.
ethnic cleansing isn't inherently bad, since ethnic cleansing can mean something as simple as deportation of foreigners
