What exactly is colonization?Does it require water to separate the land? How about the conquering state imposing their culture? Was Russia's conquest of Siberia colonization? How about the Muslim conquest of northern Africa or central Asia? Why is Spain's invasion of the Aztecs considered colonization, but not Rome's invasion of Gaul or Hispania?
When there is a vast technology gap and there was little contact beforehand and there is some level of settlement. Rome was once invaded by Gaul yet they set up colonies in Gaul because Gaul by that point was still an iron age tribal society with no central state beyond the loose alliance formed by Vercingetorix. The Romans would set up garrison town and the security they offered attracted artisans and merchants trying to expand production and trade in commodities like tin and iron. When the Romans occupied Greece however they found a culture which had large cities and trade centuries before Rome.
Colonization = past conquests done by present day western countries
>>17981257It's a vibe term about whites having power over browns
>>17981257Rome's invasion of Gaul and Hispania is colonization, just without the heavy connotation associated with the colonization of say the Americas. If it involves a group of people permanently settling in an area completely new to them, its colonization. Of course, not all colonizations are equal in their actions, scale, etc...
taking over a lesser country to boost morale
>>17981257I'm going to colonize your butt furfag
>>17981257colonization is establishing settlements of non-native populations
Muslims conquests in Northern Africa and Central Asia slightly differ from modern colonialism. They were less about settler colonies, as local populations often retained their culture, and only religious authority changed. I'd classify them as conquests of imperial expansion, rather than colonialism.
>>17982255>local populations often retained their culture, Did they? They've been thouroughly arabized and islamized.
>>17981549Maybe that was the original meaning, but nowadays the colony word just means former province of some european power.
>>17982255Modern colonialism mostly entails countries in Asia and Africa and they saw minimal european gene inflow. Mass european migration was a post independence USA thing plus a few others.
>>17982255Thats rather similar to how christianity happened in northern europe (britian and nordic countries)
colonization is when ships, no ships = no colonizationtherefore, spain is colonizer but russia isn't
>>17981257It has to be poor browns losing to evil chalkies.
>>17981257>What exactly is colonization?It's when you go somewhere and set up a legally segregated business or community that's untouchable for the locals through anything short of terrorism and war.
>>17981257stop spamming this sand monkey shit
>>17983197They were Arabized, but it took centuries, and even then, remnants of their previous culture still remain, like Coptic liturgy.
>>17981257>Was Russia's conquest of Siberia colonization?Yes>How about the Muslim conquest of northern Africa or central Asia?also colonization>Why is Spain's invasion of the Aztecs considered colonization, but not Rome's invasion of Gaul or Hispania?Who said that? Rome did colonize Gaul and Hispania.
>>17981257Colonization is just expansionist empire-building rebranded by the winners. Rome 'civilizing' Gaul? Totally colonization. Muslim conquests? Absolutely. We just call the ones that worked 'assimilation' and the failed ones 'invasions'. It's all about whose history book you're reading. If your culture gets erased, it was colonization. If it gets blended, it was 'enrichment'. The only real difference is the PR campaign centuries later.
