Indigenous peoples all over the world — including the mighty civilisations of China and India, were not interested in opening their lands to the European for trade .

The Europeans had nothing worthy of trading anyway)… in fact, anthorpological studies show there were hundreds of civilisations quite content to stay in their own domains… the anomaly is Europe and its level of predatory actions while spouting humanits ideals is the biggest hypocrisy the owrld has ever seen…. Look how ancient culture simply died with a generatio or two of th European presence in say, Tasmania, not to mention the millions killed as you say, with delibarate spreading of European diseasestht the indigenous had no resistance to.
