Q.6. Explain the following concepts:
*(1) Colonialism:
=> 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.
*(2) Imperialism:
=> By definition, “Imperialism is a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means”. The Age of New Imperialism began in the 1870s in Europe. ... A foreign country (dominant country) can also exert a great deal of economic influence on the recessive country.
