Answer: had significant influence on the culture of the regions under their control
Explanation: European colonization was the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over other countries and territories, founding a colony and occupying it with settlers while exploiting them economically. Europeans did this on almost all the continents, from the Americas to Asia, down to Africa.
Despite the exit of the colonizers, many of the societies are still greatly influenced by their masters, as seen in the type of government practised in India as well as Brazil picking Portuguese as their official language. Over the decades of being exposed to the colonizers, a lot of transference occur and the impact of the Europeans' stay lingers in the culture and acts of the territories they occupied.
