Colonialism is a political and socioeconomic system in which a dominant power asserts control over the governance, territory, and resources of a subordinate society, typically through conquest, settlement, and institutional domination, distinguishing it from other forms of imperialism by its direct and sustained administrative rule and structural exploitation.
