Colonialism

On Friday in Human Geography we started our next unit on Colonialism after we finished the test one the political leaders . Colonialism is the most developed form of imperialism whereby the controlling state invades another state or region so as to exploit its resources and/or the purpose of large scale immigration. Imperialism is the process through which a state attempts to control the economic and/or political and cultural make-up of another state. It is in sense an extension of political control and it is a policy of extending control over foreign entities to acquire and/or maintain empires. We discussed how that the number one export in the United States is movies. Colonialism is in a sense an extension or territorial control and through either settler colonies administrative dependencies are indigenous population and (in) directly ruled or displaced. Also, it is one way of achieving a more general goal of imperialism.
