A colony is a remote territory controlled from a nation state where it is regarded as foreign/overseas.
History
Historically, the colonial powers were principally[1] European nation states, and the colonies were most of the rest of the world, i.e. Africa, America, Asia and Oceania.
Neocolonialism
Legacy
One side effect of the colonisation process has been a huge impoverishment in the world's languages, since the process inevitably involved varying degrees of pressure on people to adopt the language of the colonial power. Ivan Illich makes the point that this homogenisation process extends beyond means of communication and affects also the subject of thought: {{#subobject: |Has superobject=Colony |Has objectClass=Quotation |Has author=Ivan Illich|+sep=, |Has text=“Most of the world is suffering from the enthusiastic acceptance of European ideas, including the European concept of peace” |Is about=Colony,colonialism, doublethink, peace|+sep=, |Has wikipediaPage= |Has location=|+sep=, |Has publicationDate= |Sourced from= |Has sourceDetails= |Has sourceTitle= |Has sourceName= |Has sourceURL=
