Colonialism was motivated and made possible by [[science]], [[technology]], and investment in "emerging markets" and the developing world, despite [[Marxist]]s making a dirty word out of the term.
Colonialism was motivated and made possible by [[science]], [[technology]], and investment in "emerging markets" and the developing world, despite [[Marxist]]s making a dirty word out of the term.
Colonialism typically involves the spread of a nation or people's culture through the establishment of new settlements (e.g. [[English]] settlement of the [[New England]] states) or population transfers to existing settlements (e.g. [[Dutch]] dominance of [[South Africa]].) Generally speaking, colonialism was caused by "overpopulation" in the home country and an inability to provide economic opportunities for a growing population. So a segment of the population departed to economically underdeveloped lands as tradesmen to market manufactured goods from the home country. Colonists developed mining or agricultural and other raw natural resources for export to the home country. Eventually, the economically undeveloped or "colonized" lands, developed their own manufacturing economy, commercial laws, judicial, and administrative systems.
