What's the difference between aggression and colonization? Why do most modern western countries choose to colonize rather than invade? ...

Generally speaking, there is no difference between aggression and colonization, both of which are aimed at oppressing other countries.

The only difference is that aggression is a war with smoke, and colonization is a war without smoke.

Choosing to colonize is just an excuse for their evil deeds. After all, they are full of love and maintenance of peace.

Just like our great Chinese nation, it was powerful before the Qing Dynasty. To exaggerate, if two countries stand empty-handed, everyone can drown a large number of people by spitting.

After the Qing Dynasty, the country closed its doors, built cars behind closed doors, did not develop its national strength, and allowed foreign gangsters to take advantage of it. What about now? Who dares to bully?
