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.

    Incorrect, but of course the Communists did agree with the idea and all the wikipedia articles on English sites say it wasn't (without citation!) so of course muh victims of communism will tally that one up. Part of my family lived along the border and a couple hundred Germans stayed in their town and even a quarter of our family had German last names and spoke German and Czech fluently and werent disturbed. But they were disturbed nonstop by the German locals for marrying into a Czech family, including some being murdered.
