Colonialism is a term where a country conquers and rules over other regions.

Imperialism means creating an empire, expanding into the neighbouring regions and expanding its dominance far. 1. Colonize is taking the land and treasures of lands and leave them to death without changing anything. The Roman in early periods is an example of colonialism they did not change the language of England. England also was colonizing India for they take land and colonize but it differs in the sense that they did not change people religion or languages. 2. On the other hand imperialism is besides taking lands and treasure changing the language and religion ...etc. Napoleon, the French leader was known for his imperialist act to the lands and to change their languages... Suppression is the basic idea in colonialism. A country tries to conquer and rule over other regions in the case of colonialism. Imperialism is different in the sense that an empire is created first, and it begins to spread its wings to other regions, and aiming to expand its dominance to neighboring states and regions. This is a major difference between colonialism and imperialism. People tend to move in large numbers in the case of colonialism. They also tend to form groups and become settlers. On the other hand, in imperialism, people try to keep away moving to the country and forming groups or deciding to become permanent settlers. This is another important difference between the two terms. On the other hand, imperialism is all about exercising total control over the other land or the country or the neighboring land by conquering it totally. It is all about exhibiting sovereignty and nothing else. The country that is keen on capturing power and exercising control by means of sovereignty is not at all bothered whether the people are interested in moving to the country or not. They are simply mindful of dominating the land totally. This is the crux of imperialism.
