Imperialism
Colonialism is the exploitation by a stronger nation towards a weaker nation. The use of the weaker nation's resources is to strengthen and enrich the stronger nation. Colonizing nations generally dominate the resources, labor and markets of the colonial territory. Colonialism is essentially a system of direct political, economic and cultural intervention by a powerful country in a weaker one. Neocolonialism on the other hand is a term used by post-colonial critics of developed countries' involvement in the developing world. Critics of neocolonialism state that private, foreign business companies continue to exploit the resources of the states that were once colonized by an outside country.
Many European countries were fighting for new land during periods like colonialism and imperialism because they sought to expand their power, wealth, and influence. Acquiring new territories allowed these countries to gain access to resources, establish trade routes, and establish military bases, ultimately increasing their economic and political dominance. Additionally, competition among European powers fueled the desire for expansion as countries aimed to surpass their rivals in territorial control.
