Groups who came later than indigenous peoples colonized_____
, or occupied land in more recent times.
There are numerous examples of groups who came later than indigenous peoples and colonized or occupied land in more recent times. Some notable examples include:
1. European colonial powers in Africa, Asia, and the Americas: European powers such as Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and the Netherlands established colonies and occupied lands in these regions during the Age of Exploration and colonization from the 15th to the 20th centuries.
2. Russia/Soviets in Siberia and Central Asia: The Russian Empire expanded eastward and eventually colonized Siberia and parts of Central Asia in the 16th and 17th centuries. Later, the Soviet Union further consolidated its control over these territories during the 20th century.
3. British settlers in Australia and New Zealand: The British Empire established colonies and settlements in Australia and New Zealand in the late 18th and 19th centuries, displacing and marginalizing the indigenous Aboriginal and Maori populations.
4. U.S. settlers in North America: European settlers from various countries, especially the British, French, Spanish, and Dutch, colonized and occupied large parts of North America from the 16th century onwards, displacing and marginalizing indigenous peoples such as Native American tribes.
5. Chinese settlers in Tibet: During the 20th century, China expanded its control over Tibet and encouraged Han Chinese settlers to move into the region, leading to significant demographic changes and cultural assimilation that impacted the indigenous Tibetan population.
6. Israeli settlers in Palestine: Following the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Israeli settlers have been occupying and colonizing Palestinian territories in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, leading to ongoing conflicts and displacement of the indigenous Palestinian population.
7. Indonesian settlers in West Papua (formerly known as Irian Jaya): After annexing West Papua in the 1960s, Indonesia encouraged the migration of settlers from other parts of the country, leading to tensions and conflicts with the indigenous Papuan people.
These are just a few examples, and there are many more instances across the world where indigenous populations have been displaced or marginalized due to colonization and occupation by later arriving groups.
