• How can colonizers meddle in local politics and culture?

  Colonizers have been known to antagonize existing ethnic conflicts, or create new ones by promoting one group over another and making sure both groups know why, which ultimately meddles in both local politics and culture. Usually, the so-called "civilized," "developed," and "modern" cultures are either the colonizer's or the colonizer's preferred cultural group. Derogatory language like "uncivilized," "primitive," or "backward" refers to the people being colonized or the more marginal groups. This coding of people and cultural traits as acceptable and unacceptable allows for the mistreatment, enslavement, and genocide of people.
• Imperialism


  Imperialism is one nation taking over another nation's land or territory and establishing political and/or economic control over that land and its native population. When an empire also creates unequal economic or power relationships, that relationship is considered imperialism, though this relationship can eventually be more hands-off too. Imperialism describes the domination and subordination of one state over others, and is often motivated by the acquisition of land, resources, or strategic positions.
