What do you mean by being colonized?

Colonization refers to immigrants who have been conquered by powerful countries and their interests have been plundered.

Colonialism refers to the means by which a country seeks or obtains the administrative power of another place or its people. Colonialism usually includes the unequal relationship between colonists and colonies.

Colonialism does not necessarily occur between colonists and people with underdeveloped civilization. There are often many inhuman and oppressive political countries in colonialism, but there are also many colonial countries that use land and power through fair and reasonable treatment.

Historical reasons of neocolonialism;

After the war, decolonization and socialist movements were in the ascendant, and the old colonial rule system collapsed. In order to maintain the economic relations between developed countries and non-western countries in the past and prevent them from deviating from the capitalist track, a new system of international relations must replace the old colonialism.

At this time, long-term colonial rule has brought non-western countries into the world market and become an inseparable part of the capitalist system, which is still in an underdeveloped state. Therefore, western countries can protect their economic interests even if they no longer rule them directly. Neo-colonialism came into being in this environment.
