In Australia and New Zealand, after the wave of English immigrants, the local government enacted several draconian laws promoting “White Australia.” While the immigrants were ecstatic with the employment and wages nearly triple what they’d been earning in England, mixed blood Aborigines were being forcibly removed from their families and handed over to white families or put into orphanages, and tens of thousands of children, both mixed blood and full blood, were institutionalized.

Meanwhile, in Canada, the Indian Natives were getting their fair share of discrimination. Government figures showed that a third of Canadian Natives were dependent on welfare, infant mortality was double the national average, and their life expectancy was one of the lowest in the world. In Rhodesia, 220,000 whites still ruled over a population of four million, and more than 70% of the country’s best land was owned by whites. While Canada’s secession from British rule was peaceful, a 15-year civil war was waged in Rhodesia, resulting in more than 30,000 civilians killed, and 48,000 whites left the country. War was finally ended in April of 1980.

With Hong Kong’s reversion to China in 1997, the cycle was complete. England had lost all of her colonies, all in the 20th century, with the majority of them gone in just 20 years. Meanwhile, here it is some sixty years later, and India and Pakistan are still fighting over Kashmir. Mugabe, with his Hitler-wannabe mustache is still repressing Rhodesia, whites are undergoing wholesale massacre by his army, and their land is being confiscated. By 2002, 95% of white land had been seized.

While the grandeur, and pomp and circumstance of British colonialism were beautiful to those in power, it left a wake of death, starvation, and destruction, one from which the world has yet to recover.
