Q: What is the difference between Imperialism and Colonialism?
A: There is a common misunderstanding between Imperialism and Colonialism. The former is (according to the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics) the "domination or control by one country or group of people over others". It is quite clear that European colonialism falls under this categorisation. However, with this definition, we must accept that imperialism is not exclusive to Europeans in the 18th to 20th centuries.
