Colonialism
Usually refers to the period of European colonization from Columbus (1492) onwards, in the Americas, Asia and Africa, and taking on different forms from settler colonies like Canada to non-settler colonies such as India during British rule. Colonialism differs also across colonizing nations and across time. For example, French colonialism had different policies from British, while modern colonialism is often seen as part of "globalization", which includes the exploitation of labour and national resources by transnational corporations and the expansion of free trade agreements and blocs.
