Document Summary
By the 1930s, 85% of the globe was or had been colonized. It is an old practice, but colonialism from 15th century took new forms. Colonialism and its legacy remains a pressing issue. The conquest and control of other people"s territory and resources: usually involves trade, warfare, negotiation, slavery, sometimes genocide, whether there was coercion, or if negotiations were fair is up for debate. White vs. black colonies: white colonies settler colonies. Canada, united states, australia: black colonies set up for economic purposes. Scope extended far beyond contiguous territory: european colonies were established in places far from europe. Dutch colonialism took place in the south pacific. The intensity of belief in justice and beneficence of colonialism: white man"s burden : to spread their beliefs onto other colonies, colonialism is therefore justified. Cotton from india goes back to england to make clothes which are then sold back to india: colonized country loses their resources and are hurt in their own markets.
