Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'colonial expansion'

Colonial expansion refers to the historical process by which nations extended political, economic, and cultural control over territories beyond their borders, particularly during the 15th to 20th centuries. European powers including Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and later Germany and Belgium established overseas empires through conquest, settlement, and economic exploitation. This phenomenon dramatically reshaped global demographics, power structures, and cultural exchanges, creating lasting impacts on political boundaries, economic systems, and ethnic relations that continue to influence modern geopolitics.
