How did the world colonial system come into being?

The reasons for the formation of the world colonial system;

The fundamental reason is that capitalism is open and expansive. After the first industrial revolution, capitalism colonized overseas, dumped goods and plundered raw materials to all parts of the world, which led to the strengthening of ties between regions of the world.

In the second industrial revolution, capitalism transited to monopoly stage, and the capitalist powers strengthened colonial expansion, which not only required further expansion of commodity markets and raw material supply places, but also exported surplus capital overseas, thus leading to a frenzy of dividing up the world. By the end of 19, the world has been divided and connected into a whole.

Evaluation of the world colonial system

First of all, the formation of the system makes the world a whole. The formation of the world colonial system is conducive to the growth of the world economy, the improvement of world trade and the development of productive forces. The colonial expansion of capitalism broke the closure of all parts of the world and connected them into an organic whole.

Secondly, the formation of this system is inseparable from the plunder and slavery of various regions and countries in the world by capitalist and imperialist powers. The strengthening of this connection means that western powers control Asia, Africa and Latin America politically, economically and culturally, which is a very unfair phenomenon and affects development.
