How would a country colonize other parts of the world?
Colonialism is defined as “control by one power over a dependent area or people.” In practice, colonialism is when one country violently invades and takes control of another country, claims the land as its own, and sends people — “settlers” — to live on that land.

What happens when a country colonizes another country?

What is the definition of colonization?
Colonization occurs when one country takes over the lands and people of another country and creates its own government. The American colonies before the Revolutionary War were land holdings of the British government that the British king had control over. Yet there were other people here before the colonists arrived, the Native Americans.
What was the point of colonization if there was trade?
Trade didn’t birth itself with the emergence of colonies. Trade and the economic/political/cultural linkages that accompanied it is as old as humans, perhaps even predating the profession of prostitution. Hence asking what was the “point” of colonization is itself pointless.
What are the countries that have never been colonized?
They include Saudi Arabia, Iran, Thailand, China, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, and Ethiopia. Despite never becoming fully colonized, many of these countries had to fight back attempts at colonization. For example, the British tried to colonize Nepal, but the mountainous terrain that the Nepalese were used to was insurmountable to the British army.
