What about Canada, United States, Australia, New Zealand, and several Caribbean Islands?
- OJFord 2y agoI think GP's definition of 'settle' that excludes 89 years of British Raj^ must certainly also exclude Australia, penal colony. ^which comprised many atrocities yes, but also expat rulers/officials, and building/development.
- dyauspitr 2y agoIt probably means never intended to settle overseas where they couldn’t exterminate the natives first.
