British imperialism and its effect on the environment

>>1753004

Argentinians kicked British invasions..

Sounds retarded to me for several reasons. First, brits didn't choose their colonies based on the weather, that's so silly it almost doesn't deserve a reply. Second, its not like British humans are different from others, they don't need to terraform to move

Honestly difficult to even address this question because it's so dumb

I'm not saying I agree with it, I was just wondering if anybody would have a source on how the British would of had an effect on Indian environment

>>1753045
Adding to this, most you could say is that brits brought their crops and animals with them and that effected environment. But that was simply because they knew how to use and farm them, not for some sort of terraforming purposes

Google scholar is your friend. Try colonialism and crops as search terms or something

>pic is straight up from my contemporary world issues textbook

Is Duiker that popular? So far I'm underwhelmed, it seems incredibly simplistic for a textbook.

Look at where the majority white (at least historically) colonies, Canada US, Argentina, Chile, South Brazil. They tend to be temperate or at least not trropical. The biggest areas of white colonisation in africa were the southern tip where it is pess malarial and highlands in Kenya.
>introduced species substantially changed many of the more temperate and other climates that were most similar to europes.
>also they were societies in Australia that purposefully introduced species.

Right but I have a hard time believing that they went there because of the climate, and not that those places were the most prosperou, and part of that was the balanced climate

You could prosper in tropical enviornments just as well as any temperate ones.

Really? Cause I'd think it'd be a lot harder for 18th century settlers to prosper in Yemen than the eastern coasts of the United States.

cherrypicking. it'd be a lot harder for 18th century settlers to prosper in nevada than guam.

Malaria, yellow fever and other tropical diseases, the most vunerable regions to europeans are are populated by societies that had lots of african slaves. Africans are more adapted to not dying of tropical diseases (see sickle cell anemia.
