In reality, it’s becoming a colony. You know how the US captured Texas? Americans moved there (on invitation of the Mexican government), then when the government of Mexico didn’t act as expected the US supported a war of independence of Texas.
Who are most of the immigrants to Canada I wonder…

- LAC-Tech 4y agoYour ethnic group has never invaded and colonised an area?
- oatmeal_croc 4y agoI'd say no. For thousands of years, we've been the colonisees, not the colonisers.
- LAC-Tech 4y agoIf you'd been colonised for thousands of years your group would not exist anymore. The fact your group - which you are being very coy about - still does exist, suggest that not only have you not been continuously colonised for thousands of years, but that you've probably colonised and absorbed some of your neighbours.
- orwin 4y agoI wouldn't be so sure about that. India is really complex. More than any country on earth. Sinhalese in Sri Lanka never colonized anyone as far as I'm aware, and since you have at least a dozen ethnicities across India, i wouldn't be surprised if some never colonized anyone.

Americans were invited to live in what is what is now Texas by Spain long before there was a Mexican government, to act as a buffer against the Comanche who had decimated Spanish ranches, towns and outposts in raids from the north.
