Aspect of history
The historical phenomenon of colonization is one that stretches around the globe and across time. Modern state global colonialism, or imperialism, began in the 15th century with the "Age of Discovery", led by Portuguese, and then by the Spanish exploration of the Americas, the coasts of Africa, the Middle East, India and East Asia. The Portuguese and Spanish empires were the first global empires because they were the first to stretch across different continents, covering vast territories around the globe. In 1492, notable Genoese (Italian) explorer Christopher Columbus and his Castilian (Spanish) crew discovered the Americas for the Crown of Castile. The phrase "the empire on which the sun never sets" was first used for the Spanish Empire in the 16th century. During the late 16th and 17th centuries, England, France and the Dutch Republic also established their own overseas empires, in direct competition with each other.

Explanation:
Pueblo Uprising: In the wake of religious persecution, drought and violence, the people of Pueblo, Native American people in presently New Mexico, rose up against Spanish conquerors. The uprising targeted at reclaiming the religious traditions, history and land that Spanish conquerors had destroyed.
The Kol Uprising: For decades, the Kols of Singhbhum (India) were under their chiefs. Following the advent, the hegemony of Kol tribes was penetrated by the law and order of Britain and generated conflicts amongst tribal people. They were upset when the British transferred tribal land to the outsiders such as traders and moneylenders that put a great threat to the tribal chiefs' hereditary independence.
The Aba Women's Revolt: Thousands of Igbo women from the Bende district, Umuahia and elsewhere in eastern Nigeria went to the town of Oloko to demonstrate against the Warrant chiefs, who were accused of restricting women's governmental position. The Aba Woman's Riots of 1929 was viewed as an anti-colonial military rebellion orchestrated by woman to resolve social , political and economic grievances.
The Santhal Rebellion: The Uprising of Santhal (Jhatkand, India) has been a revolt against both the British colonial government and the Zamindari rule. The Santhals rebellion began in the tribal belt of what was then called the Bengal Presidency as a reaction to the ending of despotic British tax regimes, practices of usury, and Zamindari regimes in India. It was a rebellion against the injustice of the colonial rule, perpetrated by the local zamindars, the police and the courts of the British legal system
Pontiac Wars: It was launched in 1763 by a loose confederation of American Indians, mostly those who were unsatisfied with British policies after the French and Indian Wars. Warriors from several tribes came together to drive British soldiers and settlers out of the region. The battle is based on Odawa chief Pontiac, the top Indian figure in the battle. The war began in May 1763, when the actions of British general Jeffrey Amherst angered American Indians and threatened a number of British forts and settlements
