So historically it seems to me that decolonization of settler colonies such as Algeria and Zimbabwe involved the uprising of the majority indigenous population against a minority (although sometimes sizable), and typically the deportation of settlers and/or white flight. I know that most indigenous decolonialists in settler colonies like Canada and the US don’t seek to deport settlers, but obviously revolution requires numbers to work. That said I think further questions on how a decolonial revolution in a settler colony could play out is beyond the scope of this community.

Also bonus question: in regards to slave rebellions, which were successful without having an overwhelming majority of the state being slaves? I’m under the impression that is a key reason why the reason American rebellions failed while Haiti was successful.

Okay thanks, hope these aren’t weird questions.
