What was the death toll under European Colonialism?

If the current regime is not an example of steady-state independence, I don't know which regime was.

That is a weak argument, especially since the French lost control of the area seventy years ago.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
