Colonialism
It is the building and maintaining of colonies in one territory by people from another territory. Colonialism is a process whereby sovereignty over the colony is claimed by the metropole and social structure, government and economics within the territory of the colony are changed by the colonists. Colonialism isa certain set of unequal relationships, between metropole and colony and between colonists and the indigenous population.
Colonialism normally refers to a period of history from the 15th to the 20th century when people from Europe established colonies on other continents. The reasons for the practice of colonialism at this time include:
* The profits to be made.
* To expand the power ofthe metropolis.
* To escape persecution in the metropolis.
* To convert the indigenous population to the colonists' religion.
Some colonists also felt they were helping the indigenous population by bringing them Christianity and civilization. However, the reality was often subjugation, displacement or death.
Types of colonialism
* Settler colonialism involved a large number ofcolonists, typically seeking fertile land to farm.
* Exploitation colonialism involved fewer colonists, typically interested in extracting resources to export to the metropolis. This category includes trading posts but it also includes much larger colonies where the colonists would provide much of the administration and own much of the land and other capital but rely on indigenous people for labor.There is a certain amount of overlap between these models of colonialism. In both cases people moved to the colony and goods were exported to the metropolis.
A plantation colony is normally considered to fit the model of exploitation colonialism. However, in this case there may be other immigrants to the colony - slaves to grow the cash crop for export.
In some cases, settler colonialism tookplace in substantially pre-populated areas and the result was either an ethnically mixed population (such as the mestizos of the Americas), or a racially divided population, such as in French Algeria or Southern Rhodesia.
A League of Nations mandate was legally very different from a colony. However, there was some similarity with exploitation colonialism in the mandate system.

A colony is part of an empire and so colonialism is closely related to imperialism. The initial assumption is that colonialism and imperialism areinterchangeable, however Robert Young suggests that imperialism is the concept while colonialism is the practice. Colonialism is based on an imperial outlook, thereby creating a consequential relationship between the two. Through an empire, colonialism is established and capitalism is expanded, on the other hand a capitalist economy naturally enforces an empire. In the next section Marxists make a case...
