The Colonial and Postcolonial Experience
As European nations began exploring the
wider world in the early modern era, their envoys established colonies
throughout the world. Over the centuries, more and more Europeans migrated
to these colonies to subjugate local populations, take control of natural resources,
and fight other European nations for continued control of these areas. The
people and cultures of these regions were impacted by their colonial status
for centuries, even after they won their independence. This series will examine
the historical impact of colonization on societies and nations around the world.
