B Colonialism

B Colonialism refers to the practice where a country (the colonizer) extends control over another region or territory (the colony), often to exploit resources, establish political dominance, or spread cultural influence. This typically involves settlers or officials from the colonizing country ruling the indigenous population, often leading to social, economic, and political changes. Colonialism has historically resulted in lasting impacts on the colonized societies, including loss of sovereignty, cultural shifts, and economic dependency, shaping global history and relations well beyond the colonial period.
