What is colonisation?

Colonization is the process by which a country or group of people establish control over a foreign territory, often with the aim of exploiting its resources, establishing settlements, and exerting political and economic influence over the indigenous population. This often involves the displacement and subjugation of the native inhabitants, as well as the imposition of the colonizers' culture, language, and laws. Colonialism has been a major force in shaping the modern world, with many countries having been colonized by European powers during the Age of Exploration and subsequent periods of imperialism.
