'''''Colonialism''''' is the expansion of a nation's sovereignty beyond its borders through the establishment of [[colony|colonies]]. It is usually seen as a substantial part of [[imperialism]], especially when involving sovereignty over foreign cultures or peoples. The word today is usually tied to the European expansion during and after the [[Age of Exploration]] and involved lands that were far away from the nation ruling them.
