FROM CRUSADES TO HOLOCAUST : AN ERA OF DARKNESS
PLANETARY LAND GRAB BY WHITES
Silently, relentlessly, at times creepingly, and at other times convulsively, a planetary land grab by European whites has been proceeding apace for the last millennium, from the 11th c AD to the present.
At one time it was said that “the sun never sets in the British Empire”. The Spaniards, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, the Belgians, the Danes, the Germans, and the Italians collectively were not far behind. The Russians expanded along their own borderlands to almost encompass one-seventh of the world’s land surface. At one time there were only three ostensibly independent kingdoms left in the world, namely Afghanistan, Ethiopia and Thailand. The first was a no man’s land between the British and the Russian empires and the other two separated the British and the French spheres of influence in East Africa, and South-East Asia, respectively.
The White Christian European Capitalists land grab has been carried out in roughly three waves, each wave representing a distinct geographical direction and a separate chronological niche. We may describe them as follows:
First Wave: Latin America, i.e., South America plus Central America and Caribbean plus Mexico. Time slot: 1492 to 1820s and 30s. Technically there had been an earlier attempt by White Christian Europeans in the shape of the Crusades, a series of eight or nine military expeditions spread over from 11th to 13th centuries, which was a bourgeoisfying movement that failed in its objective of establishing direct trade links with the Indian Ocean traffic. In fact the Arab-Muslim feudal regimes of the Middle-East were so powerful that they defeated all European efforts to bypass them and forced European feudalism to seek a bourgeois way out, compelling a vast movement of social change in Europe, which had been marginal to World History till that time, and which had been hitherto able to project only weak and petty, divided and warring, poverty-stricken and backward feudal regimes that crumbled as soon as they touched the peripheries of the kingdoms of Saladin the Great and his contemporaries.
The Eight or Nine Crusades, not counting the so-called Two Children’s Crusades and similar barbaric affairs, having failed, the First Wave that actually succeeded was the one that began with Columbus’ voyage of 1492.
This was the Mercantilist Christian European Wave that extended from 1492, when Columbus found the illusory route to the Indies, to 1498, when Vasco da Gama finally reached the true Indies.
As a matter of fact the Crusades had been disastrous and actually a backlash had occurred. Saladin and his successors had shattered the European forces that had set up the tiny principalities of Edessa, Jerusalem, Antioch and Tripoli (EB73, Vol 6, p.830) in the Levant. The Al Mohad and Al Moravid Empires had thereafter subjugated Spain and Portugal. The Il Khans and the Seljuqs had taken over in Iran and Anatolia. The Mongols had overrun Russia and East Europe (*see elsewhere in this study, our account of the Three-Pronged Asiatic Feudal Reaction and Occupation of South, South-East and East Europe by Arab-Berber, Turkic and Mongol Armies).
The European Christian Mercantilist Wave succeeded because the Asiatic feudal powers had not developed the marauding, piratical, buccaneering, all essentially primitive bourgeois, strategies to combat European sea-rovers. The land-based, gigantic, wealthy Asiatic kingdoms had not allowed the little capitalist subterranean networks of rat holes to develop along their riverways and coastlines, as had been realised by Europe along the Rhine-Danubian waterways and North-Italian and Iberian ports on the Mediterranean coastline. Venice and Genoa had led Europe during the Crusades and had attacked Constantinople’s dominance of the Eastern trade, just as fiercely as they had attacked the Levantine Moslem caravan nodes. (*see the Appendices 1.4 and 1.5 on Indo-European trade prior to Vasco da Gama and Suez Canal, and Iranian interventions in Europe prior to the Crusades)
Let us now return to the First European Wave of territorial expansion that actually occurred after 1492 and 1498. The so-called Voyages of Discovery not only caused the Land Grab but also provided the Precious Metal Loot that enabled European participation in the Oriental Trade. As Francois Bernier, Walter Hamilton, George Forster and many a visitor noted, India did not accept anything other than gold and silver for its exports. The world’s stock of bullion ultimately came to be buried in India. That is the story of the Precious Metal Loot from Latin America as far as commercial transactions on a global scale are concerned. However, the European Christian Mercantilist forces simultaneously looted and massacred the Native Americans. There lands became vacant and empty. This lead to the Triangular Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade which substituted Blacks for Reds. That is another aspect of the Grand European Christian Saga, which we have described elsewhere.
The standard European land grab strategy was to establish so-called trading facilities, factories, transit depots and/or penal colonies of exiled convicts. The sea traffic from and to these strategic points was then interferred with and taken over by armed naval might. Gradually, the commercial facilities were translated into political power and regimes set up in foreign lands to further the commercial and political interests of the various European East India companies that were engaged in slave, fur, timber and spice trading and similar ventures. In the meantime European diseases and Christianity were introduced to decimate and dominate the local native populations. Once political power was seized in the region, Land Acquisition and Immigration Policies would be laid down which would favour the European intruders. Genocidal massacres would be carried out to complete European mastery over the selected territory.
We may here recollect the notices printed in standard Western encyclopaedias:
“The original inhabitants of the Canaries were the Guanches, now extinct, a Berber people who were conquered by the Spanish in the 15th century.” (EB83, Micro, Vol.II, p.502)
Here, as in almost every other respect, the British completed what the Spaniards had started:
“TASMANIANS, an extinct Negritoid people once found in Tasmania. Male average height was about 5 ft. 6 in.; they had flat noses and wide nostrils (the nasal index being the highest on record), shorter and broader heads than mainland Australian Aboriginals, full, fleshy lips, bushy beards, and very curly to woolly hair.......... the last full blood is recorded as having died in 1876. This peaceful people became fearful and resentful when faced with dispossession and with cruelty on the part of European convicts and settlers.” (EB73, Vol. 21, p.714.)
As far as the genocidal massacre of the Native Americans, the so-called Red Indians, is concerned, as we have seen elsewhere, Fidel Castro puts the estimate of total killings at 70 million, whilst our own calculation places the figure nearer 110 millions: “Until the 1960s it was thought that about 16 million people inhabited the Western Hemisphere at the time of European discovery. Demographers now realize, however, that epidemic diseases that accompanied European contact with aboriginal peoples often decimated the native group in very short order – in certain cases killing two-thirds of the population in one year…. It might be said, then, that the most effective instrument of subjugation throughout the New World was neither the sword not the cross but, rather, the epidemic. The new estimates are usually on the order of 90,000,000 to 110,000,000, with all but about 10,000,000 living in what is now Latin America.” (EB73, Vol. 12, p.54.)
Anyway, we will now attempt a conspectus of the total situation. The total land area of the Earth is about 22,355,212 sq. km. The continental break-up is as follows: Asia - 30%; Africa - 20%; North America - 16 %; South America - 12%; Oceania - 6%; Antarctica - 9%; and Europe, excluding Asiatic Turkey and Russia - 7%. (The New Webster Encyclopaedia, 1991, p.8&9, following p.1,230)
We may analyse the Planetary Land Grab by Europeans under the following heads:
1. FIRST WAVE: Latin America: Genocide — Spanish Strategy: 1492-1830s.
2. SECOND WAVE: North America: US & Canada Expand from Coast to Coast – 1785-1950 Greenland Seized by Denmark – 1814.
3. THIRD WAVE: Genocide – British White Commonwealth Strategy: 18th & 19th Centuries.

FIRST WAVE: LATIN AMERICA: GENOCIDE SPANISH STRATEGY: 1492-1830s
As Marx wrote in Capital Vol I, “The different momenta of primitive accumulation distribute themselves now, more or less in chronological order, particularly over Spain, Portugal, Holland, France and England. The discovery of gold and silver in America, the expatriation, enslavement and entombment in mines of the aboriginal population, the beginning of the conquest and looting of the East Indies, the turning of Africa into a warren for the commercial hunting of black-skins, signalised the rosy dawn of the era of capitalist production.” (p.703)
Marx continued: “The treatment of the aborigines was , naturally, most frightful in plantation-colonies such as the West Indies, and in rich and well-populated countries, such as Mexico and India, that were given over to plunder. But even in the colonies properly so called, the Christian character of primitive accumulation did not belie itself. Those sober virtuosi of Protestantism, the Puritans of New England, in 1703, by decrees of their assembly set a premium of Pounds 40 on every (Red) Indian scalp; in 1744, after Massachusetts-Bay had proclaimed a certain tribe as rebels, the following prices; for a male scalp of 12 years and upwards Pounds 100 (new currency), for a male prisoner Pounds105, for scalps of women and children Pounds 50. The British Parliament proclaimed blood-hounds and scalping as “means that God and Nature had given into its hand.” (p.705)
Apart from immuring of the aboriginal population in mines, the chief instruments devised by the Spanish for the enslavement and entombment of the native Red Indians were the ENCOMIENDA, ESTANCIA, HACIENDA and FAZENDA, on each of which a brief note follows:
1. ENCOMIENDA, “in colonial Spanish America, legal system by which the Spanish crown attempted to define the status of the Indian population in its American colonies. It was based upon the practice of exacting tribute from Muslims and Jews during the Reconquista* of Muslim Spain.
“In practice it became a form of enslavement.
"As legally defined in 1503, an encomienda consisted of a grant by the Crown to a conquistador, soldier, official, or others of a specified number of Indians living in a particular area. The receiver of the grant, then could exact tribute from the Indians in gold in kind, or in labour and was required to protect them and instruct them in the Christian faith. The encomienda did not include a grant of land, but in practice the encomenderos gained control of the Indians’ lands..... with the catastrophic decline in Indian population the system lost its effectiveness and was gradually replaced by the HACIENDA system of landed estates.” (EB83, Micro, Vol III, p.887. The Reconquista has been dealt with in our note on Crusades, Appendix 2.1.)
2. ESTANCIAS, “in the Rio de la Plata region of Argentina and Uruguay, the extensive rural estates largely devoted to cattle ranching and to some extent to the raising of feed grain. From the late 18th century estancerios began to acquire tracts of land in the pampas of Argentina, which by the late 19th century had been almost entirely fenced in to form these estates. By 1900 about 300 families owned most of the Argentine pampas, each with an estancia measured in hundreds of thousands of acres. A similar situation obtained in Uruguay. Like the fazendeiro in Brazil and the hacendado in Mexico, the estanciero exercised wide lawmaking and judicial powers over his tenant farmers and servants. These powers, reminiscent of those exercised by the feudal nobles of medieval Europe, were often abused by the estancieros themselves or by overseers.” (EB83, Micro, Vol III, p.968)
3. FAZENDA, "a large plantation in Brazil, comparable to the ESTANCIA in the Rio de la Plata region in Argentina and Uruguay or the HACIENDA in Mexico. Many were economically ruined when Negro slavery was finally abolished in Brazil, in 1888. Embittered, they helped to overthrow Emperor Pedro II and launch the first republic." (EB83, Micro, Vol IV, p.72.)
4. HACIENDA, "in large areas of Spanish America, the large landed estate originating in the colonial period, survived in many places late into the 20th century. Labourers were ordinarily Indians. Their employers were able to bind them to the land, especially by keeping them in an indebted state; by the 19th century probably up to a half of the rural population of Mexico was thus entangled in the peonage system. The counterparts of the hacienda in the Rio de la Plata (Argentina and Uruguay) region and in Brazil are the ESTANCIA and the FAZENDA, respectively." (EB83, Micro, Vol IV, p.826.)
As for the mining activities of the Spanish conquistidores, we will take POTOSI as typical:
5. POTOSI. "One of the highest cities of the world (altitude over 13,700 ft.), it stands in the shadow of fabulous Cerro Potosi and its 5,000 mines. The Spanish mining industry in Bolivia began in 1540. The discovery in 1545 of Cerro Potosi, a conical mountain rising 15,680 ft. above sea level, established Potosi as the foremost silver producing region in the world.... It is estimated that the region subsequently produced $1,000,000,000 worth of silver." (EB73, Vol. 18, p.335)
Most of this silver ended up in India, as India accepted almost nothing save gold and silver against the European purchases of Indian textiles, spices and other specialities. (*See other appendices for the Drain of Wealth to India from the rest of the world since times immemorial.)
A feeble defense has been offered by the Encyclopaedia Britannica: "The evils and cruelties of the Iberian conquest cannot be overlooked, but they were the horrors common to all European colonial systems." (EB73, Vol. 13, p.745). That may be so, but how is it relevant for non-Western students of world history?
RECONQUISTA AND CRUSADES:
The Reconquista was a movement directed towards the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula by Western European Christian armies, and the expulsion of the Islamic forces that had occupied parts or whole Spain and Portugal from 711 to 1492. The Kingdom of Granada the last Islamic foothold on the North Shore or the Mediterranean fell in 1492, the same year that Columbus reached the Caribbeans. The Reconquista succeeded whilst its Pan-European form, the Crusades, failed miserably (Runciman, “Seen in the perspective of history the whole Crusading movement was a vast fiasco.” Vol.III, p.469)

SECOND WAVE: NORTH AMERICA: GENOCIDE — US EXPANSION FROM COAST TO COAST 1785-1950 AND PARALLEL CANADIAN AGRANDISEMENT TO 1867 – SEIZURE OF GREENLAND BY DENMARK – 1814
The British were the biggest land grabbers on a planetary scale, though chronologically the Spanish and the Portuguese may have preceded them. We will consider the seizure of land in the White Commonwealth countries of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa a little later in this Appendix, but we can begin with USA which was a British colonial and penal settlement to begin with.
These “Thirteen Colonies” gave themselves a separate constitution in 1785-90 with an area of just 841,918 sq. kms. They then entered upon an explosive expansionist phase, and through genocidal campaigns, wars with both native and foreign forces, and inter-imperialist transfers, acquired territories to the extent of 9,372,614 sq. kms. (NWIE91, p.1,124), a growth of about 1113% or of over 11 times.
We might say that “gold, glory and gospel” were the major motivations of the Iberians in the conquest of Latin America. Similarly, the Westward expansion of the USA, to California, Alaska and Hawaii, was accomplished by “glory-mad cavalrymen, gold-hungry forty-niners and mountain men, zealous Calvinists and Indian-cheating, treaty-breaking landgrabbing frontiersmen and farmers.” (This was the facetious explanation of their own black deeds by the Western academicians, who contributed to EB73, Vol 13, p.745.)
The main stages of the Atlantic to the Pacific expansion of the USA after separation from Britain, around 1785, were as follows:

The story of American Westward march is a horror tale of indescribable barbarity. It has been romanticised and fantasised as “Western” novels, comics and movies, and as “Country and Western” music and dance, which have glorified the American cowboy, frontiersmen, bordello-owner and cardsharp. Where no law prevailed, the sheriff was presented as the prime “law enforcement agent”. He was the rough and tough, humourous and humane, and essentially just guy. The scalpers of Red Indian men, women and children, at particular rates, described sardonically by Karl Marx, as quoted above, were transformed into folk heroes! Only Semi-Neanderthals from Europe could have done it!


INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS
Canada is the largest country in the Western hemisphere. Its area of 3,851,809 sq.mi. is 6.5% larger than the United States at 3,615,208 sq.mi. and 17.2% larger than Brazil at 3,286,470 sq.mi. (EB73, Vol 4, p.725)
The only national territory in the world larger than Canada is of the USSR at 8,649,489 sq.mi. The USSR has shrunk since 1989-91 to 6,592,664 sq.mi., when it was renamed Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). This broke up into 15 constituent republics of which the Russian Federation of today is the largest unit. Thus, the Russian Federation is 2,056,825 sq.mi. smaller than the old USSR. But of course it remains the largest country in the world.
Further details of land grab in Canada are given in Table 2: British Imperialist Land Grab.
PARALLEL CANADIAN EXPANSION
The only difference between the savages who turned the USA into a gigantic bubbling cauldron of blood, entrails and scalps, and those who carried out similar tasks in territories further North, was that the Canadians opted to fight on the British side, whilst the Americans favoured a break, preferring to establish their own distinct domain of dastardly devilry.
The story of the Canadians promoting their own separate fur-trading, lumbering, whaling, mining and farming interests resembles in all essentials that of their proximate Southern neighbour. The French in Quebec joined their British counterparts in Newfoundland, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Labrador, Hudson’s Bay and similar territories to form the Dominion of Canada in 1867 with eleven provinces and two territories. We will deal with further details of the Canadian story in our table on White Commonwealth below.
WHITE COMMONWEALTH
The British Empire of the 19th century was the true successor to the Iberian conquests of the 16th century. Spain and Portugal had taken over the whole of South America, Central America and the Caribbean, from the American-Mexican border to the Straits of Magellan. (At one time, the Spanish colony of Mexico itself had extended to engross the whole of the Western United States upto the Canadian border and beyond.)
We append below Table 2 on the planetary land grab carried out by British imperialism in the 18th and 19th centuries.

We may here append a note on South Africa and its racialist regime, which has not been dismantled in essentials to this day, though Apartheid was formally abolished as State policy in 1989-91, and the first multi-racial elections were held in 1994.
"Ownership of land by Africans was limited to designated Native Reserves comprising only 13% of the land surface in Apartheidist South Africa. Sexual relations and marriage between whites and non-whites were made illegal. The right to vote was denied to non-white persons and all Africans were required to obtain permission before they could enter or remain in urban areas." (EB73, Vol, p.103)
The ethnic composition of the population has been given in our Table 2. It was 18% white and 82% non-white. Thus 87% of the land was owned by 18% of the population which was white and 82% of the population owned just 13% of the land. Except that, Nelson Mandela was given a grand bungalow and estate in the exclusive white area after legal abolition of Apartheid!
As long as Apartheidist South Africa existed, it was not possible for any country on its borders, be it Botswana, Mozambique, Angola, Namibia or Rhodesia to follow any land policy which did not heavily favour the Whites and ensure the continued impoverishment of the Blacks. South Africa went so far as to finance and arm guerilla movements in these borderlands during the entire Apartheidist Period. Money and arms were used to combat all the Black regimes that came up after the collapse of the Portuguese colonial Empire in Angola and Mozambique in 1975; after the entry of Cuban soldiers in the national liberation armies of Namibia, Angola, Mozambique and nearby African countries; and after the process of so-called decolonisation that had overtaken Africa since the 1960s and which had finally engulfed South Africa’s neighbours in the 1980s. (See map in LIEWH76, p.7)
For any of the eleven countries which we have listed in the bottom half of our Table 2: British Imperialist Land Grab, it was highly dangerous to adopt a more just and eqitable land policy in the entire Apartheidist/Racialist period of 1948 to 1990s, actually from 1901 to the 1990s. For instance, in Zimbabwe, 4,500 commercial farmers, almost all White, owned 11.7 million hectares of the best land, acquired in the colonial period; whilst 7 million Black farmers were forced to eke out a miserable living from 16.4 million hectares of the poorest quality “communal land”. (Keesing’s Archives, News Digest for February 1992, Keesing’s Publications, Ltd., London.)
GREENLAND: After many vicissitudes, Greenland fell to Denmark in 1867.
CONCLUSION: To sum up, we may consider the over all planetary land grab carried out by the White Christian Mercantilist Imperialist Powers of Europe in Three Waves:

In short, the White European Christian Mercantilist Powers have taken over 39% of the world. Since Europe itself occupies about 7% of the world’s geographical area, we may say that Planetary Land Grab by the European Christian Mercantilist Whites embraced almost half the earth’s surface, or about 46%.
There were other events of imperialist excesses in other parts of the world.
INDIA
After the imposition of direct British rule in 1859-60, a forest law was enacted which confiscated all village common lands all over the country. Also vast tracts of land were seized even in the so-called Native States by railway companies formed in Britain under the Guarantee Schemes; by Plantation, Mining, Engineering and Managing Agency Corporations floated in Britain; by the enforced "culture system" on Dutch lines for delivery of indigo in Eastern India; and by similar extortionate exactions, especially in and around the so-called hill stations. India might have become another Southern Africa as outlined above in our Table 2 on "British Imperialist Land Grab", but there were far too many Indians for easy imperialist disposition and dispossession, though millions of them were transported to mines and plantations under internal Indentured Labour laws. The discovery of synthetic dyes at the end of 19th century, and the rise of the Nationalist Movement after 1905, put paid to British imperialist plans in the direction of further "Planetary Land Grab by Whites." India was saved in the nick of time, except for the 85 millions killed by virulent famines of purchasing power from 1765 to 1947. (Please see Appendices on Indian Loot and related topics in Chapter IV.)
ESKIMOS AND ARCTIC PEOPLES
These are fast disappearing as a distinct culture and are being assimilated by the White Europeans. Only about 50,000 to 70,000 Eskimos survive. (EB73, Vol 2, p.345 and EB73, Vol 8, p.702)
Europeans introduced diseases, notably small pox, in the earliest times, later measles, and after World War I influenza which wiped out whole groups. (EB73, Vol.8, p.702)
The Arctic lands are shared between Canada (approximately 37%), the Soviet Union (28%), Denmark (Greenland 28%), the United States (Alaska (6%), Iceland (proclaimed a republic in 1944, after 3 centuries of Danish rule), Norway, Sweden and Finland (the Lapland).
"For Scandinavia and Finland, Lapland is a colonial country." (EB73, Vol 13, p.717)
OCEANIC PEOPLES AND CULTURES
The world over the diversity of human cultures is being rapidly destroyed and the promotion of a monoculture of Christian European White Capitalist nature is taking place. The same sports, the identical pop music, the forceful projection of the same American fashions and films, is creating a terrible monotony and unbearable boredom.
Oceania is the collective name for the islands scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean, i.e., the region between Asia and America. A more common definition excludes the Ryukyu, Kurile and Aleutian Islands, the Japanese Archipelago, Indonesia, Taiwan and the Philippines. This core Oceania consists of more than 10,000 islands divided into four parts as given in the Table below. It is difficult to give precise data. Nevertheless, the following table sums up the situation approximately.

Prior to the impact of the cross and of European Christian diseases, the Aboriginal population of Australia alone was estimated at over 3 lakhs (EB83, Macro, Vol.13, p.468). It had been reduced to less than 40,000 by 1961. The last human being belonging to the Tasmanian Local Race had been exterminated by 1876.
With the density of population at 2 per sq.km. Australia has the lowest density amongst the continents of the world.
IT IS TO THE ETERNAL SHAME OF GREAT BRITAIN AS A COLONIAL POWER, THAT IT GENOCIDALLY EXTERMINATED THE POPULATIONS OF VAST AREAS OF THE WORLD, WHICH TODAY ARE KNOWN AS WHITE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES, AND LANDS ADJACENT TO SOUTH AFRICA AS DETAILED IN TABLE 2 ABOVE.
We have chosen to include most of the Sub-Saharan African lands which had common borders with South Africa, because in this region the fascist racialist regime of Apartheid (1948-90) had the maximum political and economic influence. Furthermore, some of these countries called Adjacent Lands were defacto ruled by South Africa, e.g., Namibia and Botswana. Land ownership in Zambia and Zimbabwe (originally parts of Rhodesia, a British Colony, was highly skewed in favour of the insignificant white minority. Currently in Zimbabwe, President Mugabe has woken up, after a compradorist Rip Wan Winkle sleep, (which may also be termed a Nehruvian posture), and is engaged in a civil war to restore land to its original Black owners. It is as though, after two decades of compradorist bootlicking, suddenly Mugabe has decided to change his role from that of a Nehru to that of a Lohia!
Angola and Mozambique were Portuguese possessions where White Christian superiority in every sphere was strictly enforced.
It is obviously scandalous that 1.77% of the world's population should possess almost 4.41% of the world's land area in Sub-Saharan Africa, i.e., in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Angola and Mozambique. Of the total population of 111 million, less than 9 million are Whites, who own almost all of the most fertile lands out of the total land area of nearly 6 million sq. kms in these 8 countries!
If we add United States with Alaska and Hawaii, Canada upto the Arctic, the Danish possession of Greenland, Australia and New Zealand to the total geographical possessions of the White man, the gross injustice done to the peoples of the rest of the world will become even more glaring!
AN INSIGNIFICANT WHITE CHRISTIAN EUROPEAN CAPITALIST MINORITY HAS EXCLUDED BY GENOCIDAL EXTERMINATION, SEQUESTRATION, AND RESTRICTIVE IMMIGRATION, A DISPROPORTIONATELY LARGE LAND AREA OF THE WORLD, AND CAUSED THIRD WORLD DEPRIVATION AND IMPOVERISHMENT!
SPECIAL INSTITUTIONS DEVELOPED BY WHITE EUROPEAN CHRISTIAN CAPITALISTS TO CIVILISE THE EARTH AND APPROPRIATE THE PROPERTIES OF THE UNCIVILISED
We have already taken note of several facilities developed by the White European Christian mercantilists and capitalists to grab the possessions of the uncivilised peoples of the world. The seizure of their belongings was a sort of educational price paid by them in order to match the achievements of the White Europeans. Of course, they could never actually equal their teachers/tormentors. But like Sisyphus, they could go on trying and repeatedly start all over again from the beginning!
We have already referred to encomienda, estancias, hacienda, fazenda, Red Indian Genocide, Black Negro Slave Trade, and so on.
Here are a few more samples of civilising strategies adopted by White Christian Europeans.

ASIENTO DE NEGRO (Spanish: "Negroes' Contract")
"An agreement between the Spanish crown and a private person or another sovereign power by which the latter was granted a monopoly in supplying African slaves for the Spanish colonies in the Americas. The contractor agreed to pay a certain amount of money for the monopoly and to deliver a stipulated number of male and female slaves for sale in the American markets. The first such contractor was a Genoese company that in 1517 agreed to supply 1000 slaves per annum over an eight year period. In 1528 an agreement was reached with a German firm to supply 4000 slaves. For its monopoly the firm paid 2000 ducats annually to the Spanish crown. Each slave was sold at a price not exceeding 48 ducats." The foregoing is quoted from EB83, Micro, Vol II, p.449, a ducat is shown to be equivalent to $16 in the year 1493.
To return to EB83, Micro, Vol I, p.584: Foreigners sought Asientos because they provided a chance to share in the Spanish American trade and especially to acquire the bullion produced by the slave trade (and to indulge in buccaneering, piracy and smuggling.)
The most notable Asiento was that granted to the British South Sea Company in 1713 to supply 4,800 slaves to Spanish America annually for 30 years and to send one ship each year to engage in general trade an annual tax to the Spanish crown of £34,000 for the first 4,000 slaves whether or not they were imported. The legal trade was accompanied by illicit traffic leading to the war of Jenkins' Year in 1739. The Asiento was renewed at the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, but two years later the British relinquished their rights in exchange for payment of £100,000 from Spain.
Between 1600 and 1750 an estimated 450,000 Africans were dispatched to Spanish America under the Asiento system.
The Portuguese crown also granted Assentos de Negros from 1678 to import slaves into Brazil.
The above price of 45 ducats per slave or $720 per head is in alignment with the price of 600 per negro slave in the West Indies, quoted by Brooks Adams in his The Law of Civilisation and Decay, p.238, for the year 562. (See Appendix 4.8 on Brooks Adams)
BANDEIRAS
Portuguese slave hunting expeditions into the Brazilian interior in the 17th century.
The Bandeiras, numbering anywhere from about 50 to several thousand men, and usually including writers, judges and priests, were organised and tightly controlled by wealthy entepreneurs.
The first Bandeira organised by Antonio Raposo Tavares in 1628 raided 21 villages in the upper Parana Valley and captured some 2,500 Red Indians. The Bandeiras netted large profit in slaves and thus wrecked great injury on the Red Indians. (EB83, Micro, Vol. I, p.783)
AUDIENCIA
One of the most important governmental institutions of Spanish colonial America.
The first was the Audiencia of Santo Domingo set up in 1511, that of Mexico city was founded in 1527. The Audiencias of Lima and Guatemala were set up 1542 and 1543. By the end of the colonial era a total of 13 had been established between the four viceroyalties.
Audiencias were charged by the crown with safeguarding the rights of the Indians (but not with safeguarding their lives as we have shown extensively above.)
AUSTRALIA
In addition to the facts which we have given above in the Table 4 of this Appendix, the following data on Australian Aborigines and Australian Antarctic territory will be of interest to our readers.
"Most of the settlers arriving in the early 19th century were convicts, by 1830, 58,000 convicts had been sent from Britain. The early government was authoritarian, all Governors being military officers. (EB83, Micro, Vol I, p.661)
"Australian mainland area is of about 2,966,156 sq. miles (7,682,300 sq. kms)
"By 1976 only 161,000 Australians claimed to be Aboriginal.
"Australian Antarctic Territory Acceptance Act, 1933, by which australian Territory was transferred from Great Britain to Australia. The Territory comprised all islands and lands below 60° South latitude and between longitudes 160° and 45° East. And total area is 2,400,000 sq. miles and 6,200,000 sq. kms."
In other words, the Australian Antarctic Territory is approximately 81% of original Australian territory transferred by Britain to Australia in 1933.
