to get that, you need first colonize a place - say viet-nam, cambodia,
algeria, morocco, senegal, etc. - and pressure their population
for a century, educate local elites in metropolitan universities,
yet not allow them to govern locally but still appoint the brightest
of them in metropolitan administration - or in the national government
like Leopold Sedar-Sengor - so as to show them how they
can crush you within a year when they go back home.
then you're 100% sure they manage to fool then-colons as to food.
but by no means does a few years' warfare and a final defeat help in any way=
.
BTW : every time i go to england or the netherland i'm so grateful indians a=
nd
indonesians brought the best of local cooking. ("local" is to be understood
the way it has to ;-).
