What about the people who were already there? Surely they'd still be a substantial portion of the population?

I guess they must have all left voluntarily because they didn't agree with Western values.

They got killed by germs, then divided by political moves, it wasn't really a conquest like the race for Africa was. It was really inspired by what the Spanish did to the Canarias,and used the same idiotic rethoric.

I don't agree with Cesaire much, but you cannot discuss about colonialism without reading him first.
