Chapter 1421: The Ethnic and Cultural Problems of the Colonies
In fact, if you want a colony not to rebel, you need not only the deterrence of force, but also a sense of cultural identity. For example, why did the United States become independent from the United Kingdom? That's because the first immigrants in the United States, many of them were Puritans.
The Puritans were followers of Calvinism and belonged to a staunch anti-royal faction. This faction was ostracized by the Anglican Church in England and was considered "heretical". But these Puritans, who were seen as heretics, formed the basis of the early culture of the thirteen states of North America. Even if other immigrants pass later, they must follow the cultural foundation laid in the early stage. Otherwise, you will be ostracized.
Because it has a different cultural foundation from the mainland, the thirteen states in North America have a poor sense of identity with the British royal family. Therefore, at the instigation of the French, the thirteen states of North America will become independent.
In stark contrast, it is Canada. Canada was developed relatively late, and as a result, the Puritans who were ostracized by Britain in the early days basically went to the thirteen states of North America. Therefore, although it is also an overseas colony, Canadian immigrants have a similar cultural environment to the native residents, and they have a strong sense of identity with the British mainland.
As a result, the United States became independent at the end of the 18th century, while Canada did not obtain the right to establish and amend the constitution until 1982, and was completely independent. Even, after Canada's independence, the Queen of England was still the head of state. It can be seen that it has a very strong sense of identity with the local area. The same is true for Australia and New Zealand. Not only did both of these countries become independent in the 20th century, but both also have the Queen of England as their head of state.
And these also give Marin enough references - the colony must have enough native immigrants, preferably dominated by native immigrants. In addition, the culture must be consistent so that the people can have a sense of identity with the local area. Of course, there must also be sufficient force guarantees......
A colony dominated by foreigners will certainly not be able to occupy it for long. Because, those foreigners will definitely make trouble. For example, the British colony of South Africa. Putting aside those old blacks, the Boers, the original colonizers of South Africa, are completely different from the British. After all, the South African Boers were mainly of Dutch and German descent, and were very different from the British.
Therefore, even though Britain occupied the colony of South Africa, the Boers in South Africa never stopped making trouble. Even, two Boer wars broke out, which brought great losses to Britain. Later, the Boers drove out the British colonists and founded the state themselves.
Of course, the end of the Boers was also very sad. Because the population is too small, it can't compare to Lao Hei. By the 90s of the 20th century, the South African Boers finally lost control of the country. And, for the next twenty years, he fell into the embarrassing situation of being liquidated and retaliated by blacks.
And these are the lessons that history has left to Marin - if you want to occupy a place permanently, you must get rid of the original natives. Even if they are not slaughtered, they must be driven to other places.
One of the most classic examples is the Russian Far East......
It was originally the territory of China, but because of the wrong policies of the Qing Dynasty, Han Chinese immigration was only allowed at the end of the Qing Dynasty. When Tsarist Russia seized one million square kilometers in the Far East, there were only a few Han settlements such as Jiangdong 64 Tun.
Therefore, after the massacre of a few Han settlements such as Jiangdong Liushitun, Tsarist Russia easily took complete control of one million square kilometers of land in the Far East through immigration.
And the problem of local population composition is also an important reason why the Soviet Union did not return this place in later generations - here are mainly Maozi, there are few Chinese people, and they still return Mao?
If the Manchus had not been brain-dead back then, they would have let the Han victims occupy those places as soon as possible. Then, even if Tsarist Russia seizes it, it is impossible to kill too many locals. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, needless to say, the local Han people will also make a fuss about returning to China.
However, in later generations, most of the millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East will be Maozi, and it will return to a P?
Later generations of Huaxia officials also had some claws on this place - you said this is your land, right? What about the Chinese? The Han people over there were all killed or driven away, and only a few primitive Tunguska tribes remained. Not to mention the Han people, even the Manchurians can't see it, how can they ask Russia?
In fact, even if you want to go to Mongolia, it is more convenient than to go to the Far East. Because, those second goods in Outer Mongolia are still Mongolians. Even if they use pinyin characters, the bloodline cannot be changed. And the core of the Mongols, the Golden Family, has long since moved south to Inner Mongolia. Even, Genghis Khan's mausoleum may be in the Ordos area.
In this way, as long as China has Inner Mongolia in its hands, it has the ability to claim Outer Mongolia. But the trouble is that the Mongolians who seem to be Inner Mongolia and the Mongolians who are Outer Mongolia discriminate against each other......
The godsons of Maozi in Outer Mongolia think that they are authentic Mongols, and they think that the Mongols in Inner Mongolia are not authentic. But the reality is that the golden family of Mongolia is basically in Inner Mongolia, and even the tomb of Genghis Khan is in Inner Mongolia. Therefore, in terms of authenticity, in fact, Inner Mongolia is authentic. After all, Mobei was just a place where the Mongols fled after their defeat. But once it stabilizes, it will definitely return to Monan. After all, they are not stupid, Mobei is too cold and barren.
However, the incident in Outer Mongolia was purely Maozi sowing discord. Because, except for the time when he was chased and killed by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di and fled to Mobei, the core tribes of Mongolia have actually been active near the Great Wall. Those who stay in Mobei are generally marginal tribes. After all, the core tribe must stay in Monan, where water and grass are abundant. Therefore, when it comes to authenticity, it must be authentic in Inner Mongolia.
But because of Maozi's sowing discord, coupled with the blind propaganda of authentic "traitors" and "Ermaozi" such as Qiao Bashan, these Mongolian side branches of Outer Mongolia actually consider themselves authentic......
And the Inner Mongolians, who are the authentic Chahar and Tumut tribes, are not happy - paralysis, grandpa is the authentic ......
Although Mobei is the birthplace of Mongolia, it does not represent the authenticity of the Outer Mongolians there. Humans still originated from East Africa, and the old black of East Africa dares to say that he is a human authentic try?
In short, there are a bunch of here, and I can't say it......
……
Not to mention the bad things in Inner and Outer Mongolia, the history of the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Far East made Marin deeply aware that for those fertile colonies, not only must they be occupied by their own people, but also must ensure that the colonial culture and local unity must be ensured. Only in this way can it be ensured that the colonies will not be separated from the mainland, or even rebel......
Therefore, the east coast of North America and the southeast coast of South America, as well as the west coast of the most elite of the Americas, must be occupied by the purest Germans or English.
It turns out that the Germans and the English can be integrated. For example, the old beauty of later generations is that there are the most Germans, and there are fewer British. But the Germans and the British, including the Irish, are probably culturally close (the Irish were forced to assimilate by the British), so they blend well. Latinos, who are also white, have their own system because they are quite different from the mainstream culture.
In addition, South Africa, which is the most worthy of occupation in Africa, Marin will not let go. However, this time, Marin decided not to learn from the British, but intended to leave South Africa with only Germans and British......
Of course, Marin did not go out of his way to massacre the local blacks, but intended to drive the local blacks away and prevent them from staying in South Africa, especially in the Rand gold mining area.
Anyway, the Zulu people in South Africa also moved from the north, and it was nothing to rush back to the north, and it was not for their lives. Even in the 19th century, when the Zulu Kingdom was formed, the Zulu people were active on a large scale in the north and south.
In addition, Marin plans to get some Zulu people to Japan, add some "ink" to the Japanese bloodline, and get a wisdom aura......
In short, if South Africa had been all Germanic in later generations, it would not have excluded native rule. After all, it's all family. Coupled with cultural control, don't make cultural differences, it will be similar to Australia and New Zealand in later generations.
At the heart of cultural control are issues of religion, etiquette, and dialect. But Marin is now promoting Standard English and Standard German, and has also come up with the International Phonetic Alphabet. As long as the native and colonial people spoke the same accent, believed in the same religion, and used the same etiquette, there would be no centrifugal problem.
