AI overview
Colonization is the process by which one country takes control of and settles in territory occupied by other peoples, establishing political and economic dominance over that region. It matters because the colonial period shaped the modern world—determining current national borders, political systems, and economic relationships—as shown by how many countries only achieved independence in recent centuries.
