Colonialism

Colonialsim is when a prominent country such as England, Spain, or United States, one thats been around for a while, takes control of a smaller, less established country. France colonized coutries in Africa, Spain colonized areas in South and North America, and Britain colonized North America. They came to these places to make them better and function a better way, their way. The major coutries that colonized brought over diseases that killed many natives. They tried to assimilate cultures and take away the natives way of life. Colonization brough benefits and consequences just like the global market has brought benefits to some and consequences to some. Benefits are that pretty much every country can trade goods and make some money. The country may make money but the workers may not reap the rewards. The countries that are trying to trade or buy resources may use up all of those resources and country may be left with few or none at all.
