Colonization is defined as?

• A. A peaceful alliance between neighbors
• B. The process of one country establishing domination over a territory in another country or region
• C. The import of goods from overseas
• D. The creation of new agricultural techniques

Answer: (B)

Colonization is about one country establishing political and economic domination over a territory in another country or region, often through settlement, governance, and control of resources. It goes beyond forming alliances, trading goods, or developing farming methods, because it involves the occupying or ruling power shaping the land and its people under its authority. This helps explain why colonization changed maps, laws, and cultures as colonizing countries extended their influence over distant areas.
