History of Colonialism

There is only one explanation for the bloody wars that continue between African societies today, the troubles suffered by the banana republics in South America, the endless coups in the eastern hemisphere of the world, the bleeding wounds of the societies of many other countries, and some ethnic communities that have been completely wiped out from the face of the earth: Colonialism.

In this study, which deals with a movement that is essentially of Western European origin, it is shown with detailed examples that no state organization in the world has ever been innocent: Evaluations of Far Eastern societies in World War II Japan, Russian policies towards non-Slavic communities, Mehmet Ali Pasha of Kavala's Sudan. Their intentions towards India and Abyssinia, the relations of the Chinese with various Asian societies, etc. But the focus of the issue is Western Europe; with its church, its economy, its internal wars... Because Western-based colonialism has adopted much more radical goals. He was not content with merely exploiting the country he entered, he aimed to directly possess people's souls in order to make this permanent. He shattered belief systems by preaching a self-proclaimed "civilization" with wisdom. Instead, he resorted to racial classification. It has caused such irreparable wounds that, although colonialism has been abolished on paper, the "independent" countries created from the borders of the old hegemonies, on the one hand, are trying to keep up with the imposed "Western type" economic models, and on the other hand, they are trying to cope with the chaos created by the ethnic communities caught in the middle.

When you read the History of Colonialism, you will look at some of the world's indispensable institutions, globalization, and existing ethnic and religious struggles from a different perspective.
