How do you unite a country with an indigenous population and descendants of settlers?
Elementary my dear...
- I will find out which group is richer, has a potential to create more wealth, suspect to propaganda, and easier to communicate with.
- Apparently the settlers are better in all aspects so I will side with them.
- I will use my vast experience in international relations and learn all about the tensions between the various groups of the indigenous people thereby sowing the seeds of enmity and war will start in no time at all.
- When the designed war starts I will tell the settlers to side with the weaker side because after all we are decent folk and supporting the underdog against aggression is the decent thing to do. I will use my foreign methods unknown to the originally naive indigenous people and turn the war into an unbelievably bloody enterprise.
- When both sides of the conflict are disgusted by the unaccustomed bloodshed and conveniently weakened I will send both sides humanitarian aid. Pox infested blankets may come handy. In a few short winters they will be ready to move to the “safe zones” I had specially created for them. Unfortunately these “safe zones” will be somewhat barren because the fertile lands will be used by the settlers. In the meantime I may supply them with abundant amounts of very cheap alcohol to be used for medicinal purposes, of course.
- If the “safe zones” yield any kind of wealth I will instruct my settlers to make the indigenous peoples move once again to even “safer” yet poorer lands.
- In a few generations the country will be completely united. I will instruct the settlers’ descendants who are totally unaware of the deeds of the past to apologize to the descendants of the indigenous people so that everybody will feel good.
