Australia at it's height would be the second largest nation on earth

Dutch wanted money. They weren't intrested in da land.
they "controlled" half of australia for a while
it would've been neat if australia and NZ had become dutch colonies instead of british ones. Given their engineering abilities you'd have to think they'd have created a huge canal system and in doing so irrigated the desert, making it green again.

The most of our overseas territories was used for plantages, to give the slaves some work to do. An exception was south-Africa, which was used by Dutch colonists to settle down.

>Leopold brutalizes people in the Belgian Congo and divides them based on a made up racial heirarchy
>Belgian Congo later splits into different states
>One of them is Rwanda
>Belgian colony might be dead, but made up social heirarcy is still going strong
>Creates decades of ethnic tension that result in the Rwandan Genocide
>>61702442
from around 1920-1950 I think. Your population chart starts after the genocide had concluded.

>He believes the British propaganda
British people set up this myth when they discovered Congo had many ressources. They wanted to take Congo from Belgium.
When Belgium set up in Congo, they counted about 10 million niggers.
After the death of the King Leopold, there were still 10 million niggers.
>>61696493
Countries of today would commit genocide for strategic locations like that.

They didn't waste time building shit for those ungrateful fucks. They were smart and only wanted to trade.
They came to WA and found out it was too hot and barren to grow weed, so they left to Poopeeland
