This book consists of three titles, which are the following:

 - The Colonial Legacy: Colonialism has been a defining force in shaping the modern world, leaving an indelible mark on political systems, economic structures, and cultural identities. At its core, colonialism is the practice of domination, where one nation establishes control over another, often exploiting its resources and people for economic and political gain. While the phenomenon of colonialism spans centuries, its modern form gained momentum during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, when European powers began venturing across the globe in search of wealth, land, and influence.

 

 - Imperialism and Its Legacy: The rise of modern imperialism coincided with the emergence of powerful European states, including Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and later Germany and Italy, who sought to expand their empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. These empires often operated on the belief in a hierarchy of races and cultures, with European nations placing themselves at the top, justifying their domination as a benevolent act for the supposed betterment of “lesser” civilizations.

 - The Age of Imperialism: At its core, imperialism was driven by a combination of motives that included economic gain, political power, and a belief in cultural superiority. Industrialization played a pivotal role in shaping these ambitions, as European powers sought raw materials to fuel their growing industries and markets to sell their manufactured goods. The technological advancements of the Industrial Revolution, such as steamships, railways, and advanced weaponry, gave European nations a significant edge in their quest to dominate foreign lands.
