Colonialism is a practice or policy of control by one people or power over other people or areas, often by establishing colonies and generally with the aim of economic dominance. In the process of colonisation, colonisers may impose their religion, language, economics, and other cultural practices. The foreign administrators rule the territory in pursuit of their interests, seeking to benefit from the colonised region's people and resources.
это политика завоевания и зачастую эксплуатации военными, политическими и экономическими методами народов, стран и территорий преимущественно с инонациональным населением, как правило, экономически менее развитых.
