2.) How would you explain the consequences of colonialism and imperialism?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Colonialism, as imperialism, brought many problems to countries and nations.

Explanation:

The consequences of colonialism were degrading. The environment was falling apart, diseases were spreading, the economy of the country was unstable, ethnicity was in danger and human rights didn’t exist. The forests were cut, the sources of food were reduced and many animals became endangered species.

Similar consequences happened with imperialism, when small countries became dependent on the stronger one, urbanization of big cities degraded the natural resources and the social system of life changed.

The economy of a weaker country was also depending on the economy of a stronger one. The industry was not developing so people had to search for different international markets to sell their goods.
