What is the simple meaning of colonialism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Control of one country over another region
Colonialism is a system in which a powerful state establishes political control over another territory and usually uses its resources, labour and markets for imperial interests. It may involve settlement, administration, economic domination and cultural pressure. It is therefore more than ordinary trade and is opposite to local self-rule. An agricultural festival has no connection with the meaning of colonialism, so option A is correct.
