Answer:
The correct answer is that in some ways it did, and in some other ways it did not.
Explanation:
For example, colonialism brought economic development to many colonies. In India, the British build a large railroad network that crosses the country, and that is still in used to this day. In Latin America, the Spanish founded many universities in each of their colonies, that continue to be important institutions of education and thought.
However, in many other ways, colonialism did not improve the lives of those colonized. Colonialism often brought war, violence, slaughter, and even genocide to the colonized populations. It also led to the destruction of many ethnic and domestic cultures and ways and thoughts.
So in conclusion, it depends on the country, the period, the aspect that is being treated, and the analysis that is made.
