Показать описание
Colonialism is a political and economic system where one country takes control of another, often exploiting its resources and people. This system has a long history, dating back to the ancient Greek and Roman empires. However, the form of colonialism we recognize today began in the 16th century with European powers establishing colonies in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

The motives behind colonialism were primarily economic and strategic. Colonial powers sought to control valuable resources like precious metals and spices, and establish trading routes to dominate global commerce. Additionally, they aimed to set up strategic military bases to project power and protect their interests.

Colonialism had profound effects on the colonized territories, including cultural imposition, resource exploitation, and significant social changes. The legacy of colonialism continues to shape the world today.

Clear, no frills presentation. And even though 95% of it has an anti-colonial bias (for good reasons), glad that you at least briefly acknowledge the counter-argument.
