Colonial life
The colonies helped the empires become wealthier and more
powerful. However, life for colonists was not easy. They were living
far away from their homes. British
colonies in North America, for example, were often left without
supplies for months.
Their relation with the native people were not always good, they
had a lots of wars with each other. These fights could be often
deadly and brutal.
Colonial life
Jamestown was a British colony with African American, which founded on the east coast of United States in 1607 CE. In 1636 CE,
the Jamestown colonists and natives fought each other in several deadly massacres. Many other British colonies in America also
had battles with native people.
Spanish colonies in Central and South America, and the British colonies in India, were much more brutal toward the native
people. The Spanish colonists enslaved the Incan people of Peru and forced them to do hard work for no pay. In India, the East
India Company had its own powerful army and eventually took control of the entire country. The Europeans also brought
diseases, such as the bubonic plague and smallpox, which killed large numbers of native people whose immune systems could
not fight against foreign infections.
Colonialism wars and its impact
One of the main reason of wars is Colonialism; One of the main causes of world wars was colonialism and the use of
other countries' resources.
Most of the world's countries suffered from world wars and colonialism for any reason, such as their strategic location
or resources; countries like Iran for their strategic location and resources, or North African countries like Egypt
because they are strategic and have the Suez Canal.
These countries suffered bad losses, such as the spread of infectious diseases or the loss of labor for European wars.
For example, in the North Africa war, a large number of young troops from British and French colonial countries, such
as Indian or African soldiers; The number of people killed in the war in Africa reaches 30,000 people.
The effects of the colonial wars that Europeans waged from the time of George Washington for America's
independence to the war that Hitler launched in World War II are still there.
Egyptians are still struggling with the problems of sickness and not having a proper government; orPoland lost over 5
million of its citizens as a result of World War II. And still, skeletons of soldiers are discovered in places in Poland
DECLINE OF EUROPEAN EMPIRES

cultural superiority, and prohibited native people from
speaking their own languages and forced them to learn
Spanish, English or French. They often outlawed traditional
customs and took away the local people’s basic human rights.
So, They declared independence.
Many colonized countries in Central and South America
won their independence in the 19th century CE. Asian and
African countries won their independence in the 20th century.
In 1947 the British withdrew from India, and after 1956, from
their African colonies; in 1962, the French left Algeria. With
the Portuguese withdrawal from their African colonies in
1975, the colonial empires were virtually over.
