Intro Changes

I've made some substantial changes to the introduction of the page, as much of it was poorly worded and written more like a college argumentative essay than an encyclopaedia entry!

An example of this weak and verbose wording include "there were 350,000 native people in Australia during the time when the British tried to conquer Australia"

Also the part about the blank spaces on the map is 1.) Not suited for the intro at all, as some unsigned editor in this talk page alluded to, its more of tangent/rant. And 2.) The cartography and blank spaces in relation to Africa falls more under New Imperialism than Colonialism. Though it is relevant to this article, just not the intro. --Jacobfrid (talk) 03:37, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
