📌 Colonization Explained: How It Started, Who Benefited, & Its Lasting Impact

Imagine a world where powerful nations controlled vast territories thousands of miles away, reshaping entire societies to fit their interests. This was the reality for centuries under colonization. But how did it all begin? Who were the biggest colonizers, and why did they feel the need to expand beyond their borders?
In this video, we’ll explore:
✅ The origins of colonization
✅ The biggest colonizers in history (Spain, Britain, France, Portugal, the Netherlands)
✅ The reasons behind colonization (economic wealth, trade, religion, and power)
✅ The positive and negative effects of colonization
✅ Countries that prospered vs. those left in poverty
Colonization shaped the world in ways that continue to impact global politics, economies, and cultures. While some former colonies thrived (like the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), others remain plagued by poverty and instability (such as Haiti, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Afghanistan).
