Describe the effects of Imperialism on the colonies.(overall effects)?

Answer 1

You did not say which colonies and since there has been tons of colonies in the course of world history, I am giving you a general answer.

'Imperialism' is a policy of extending control or authority over foreign entities as a means of acquisition and/or maintenance of empires. This is either through direct territorial; conquest or settlement, or through indirect methods of exerting control on the politics and/or economy. The term is used to describe the policy of a nation's dominance over distant lands, regardless of whether the nation considers itself part of the empire. The "Age of Imperialism" usually refers to the Old Imperialism period starting from 1860, when major European states started colonizing the other continents.The term 'Imperialism' was initially coined in the mid to late 1500s [1] to reflect the policies of countries such as Britain and France's expansion into Africa, and the Americas. In Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, Lenin argued that capitalism necessarily induced imperialism in order to find new markets and resources. This theory of necessary expansion of capitalism outside the boundaries of nation-states was also shared by Rosa Luxemburg[1] and then by liberal philosopher Hannah Arendt[2].
