I'm not even sure the Netherlands are a good idea.

Because the Age of Colonial Empires went the way of the Dodo by the end of WWII, and most of Europe had already been done by the end of WWI?

I think he meant many thousands of years before that.
France still had major colonies till the late 60s... And we still have many islands

Millions, actually. :twisted:

Earliest human migrations and expansions of archaic and modern humans across continents began 2 million years ago with the migration out of Africa of Homo erectus. This was followed by the migrations of other pre-modern humans including H. heidelbergensis, the likely ancestor of both modern humans and Neanderthals. Finally, Homo sapiens ventured out of Africa around 100,000 years ago, spread across Asia around 60,000 years ago and arrived on new continents and islands since then.
