    To colonise doesn’t mean to murder and entirely replace an ENTIRE population.

    But keep on putting everything except European conquest and colonisation into perspective, you’re good at it.

      There are multiple forms of colonialism. The term settler colonialism’ is relatively new.

      Settler colonialism is a logic and structure of displacement by settlers, using colonial rule, over an environment for replacing it and its indigenous peoples with settlements and the society of the settlers.

      Practically every example you will find is Europeans getting on a boat and killing natives. The most famous example is Manifest Destiny also known as America.
