What Is Colonization?

Colonization is when an empire, region or country takes over another region, country or empire. Colonization has been happening for millions and thousands of years. Colonization takes place because it was known to serve natural resources and updated technology. The famous empires are the Ancient Romans, Mongols and Nazi Germany. An example of colonization is when the Ancient Romans colonized the Greeks in 146 BC, and also when the Mongols took over Korea in 1,231. Colonization has a good and bad side, the New Zealand govt is trying to make things right with the 'Waitangi Treaty'.
