WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Colonialism’s impacts include environmental degradation, the spread of disease, economic instability, ethnic rivalries, and human rights violations-issues that can long outlast one group’s colonial rule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The era of European colonialism lasted from the 15th to 20th centuries and involved European powers vastly extending their reach around the globe by establishing colonies in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Despite several hundred years of imperialism and colonialism, the mid-20th Century marked a period when many countries in Asia and Africa freed themselves from formal colonial rule. As a result, it is often thought – in both former colonising and colonised nations – that colonialism is a thing of the past.

Detailed explanation-4: -Post-colonial studies have shown extensively that despite achieving independence, the influences of colonialism and its agents are still very much present in the lives of most former colonies. Practically, every aspect of the ex-colonized society still harbors colonial influences.
