France Antartique makes me cry to think about. Imagine instead of Mexico, Brazil and other indigenous filled Catholic shitholes, an entire continent of French/ west European Protestant countries. It could have been the US or Quebec of South America.

You'll have to gush about filling yet another landmass full of Indians somewhere else, Nigel.

>>18530375Suriname and Guyana were dutch colonies only later acquired by Britain during its imperial era. English is not even an official language in Suriname since the population there still speaks Dutch, and in Guyana the official language is English but in practice is spoken as a second language at best by most of the people.Belize is the only country you named that actually was an English settlement at its inception, originally a pirate haven really. But it was never actually administrated directly by the British as a colony, because of its location deep in Spain's sphere of influence and its use as a pirate haven they didn't want to really claim direct ownership of it, so in practice the people of Belize were fully autonomous, and actually spent more time toadying up to the Spanish than the British. They very nearly fought a rebellion when Britain did finally annex them formally because of the ban on slavery that Britain was enforcing.

Plantation Style economies demand a huge amount of back-breaking Labor that had to come from somewhere. In Mexico and the Andes the native population was massive enough, even after the plagues, for that role, but elsewhere you had to import Blacks or Indians for that role.
