The invasion plans. As your question its self notes, you can colonise somewhere that’s already been colonised. Happens throughout history, as you just noted.

Ok, but invading a country, or even annexing part of said country does not necessarily mean that the country doing the invading/annexing is doing settler colonialism. They have to explicitly be exterminating or otherwise forcibly removing the native population, with the goal of ethic replacement. If you want a clear-cut example, beyond Palestine, then Morocco has been settler-colonizing Western Sahara for decades. I get that’s not as sexy as talking about China/Taiwan relations on Lemmy, but learning about something outside of the usual purview of political discussion on this website certainly wouldn’t hurt.

So, something like the war plans the US has to invade Canada? The ones they wargamed out in the 60s?
