European Colonialism Models: Settler Empire

As the furs declined, the boreal riverine empires became settler empires; traders became agricultural and town settlers and immigrant families came in large numbers.
Spatial Patterns: European family settlers (peasants) occupied large areas of land in the "New World," initially along the Atlantic coast in New England, along the St. Lawrence River, and in east of Russia.
Countries: The riverine empires of France, Britain, and Russia were transformed into settler empires, but settler empires were also established elsewhere (see below).
Economics: Settlers were self-sufficient and produced for their respective European colonial markets, such items as fish, wheat, lumber, tar, etc., and in turn, Europeans sold goods (cloth, rum, steel tools, guns, etc.) in their colonies. Hence, the famous Boston tea party!
Locations: these empires were established in what later became Canada, USA, an expanded Russia, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina.
Local populations were essentially eliminated through European diseases and wars, or displaced to marginal areas, called Indian reservations in the USA; reserves in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand; Bantu states in South Africa.
The result: large spatially contiguous subsistence and export-oriented economies depend economically, administratively, and militarily on their respective colonial powers.

The Zionist Empire in the Occupied Territories illustrates this type of empire today.
