What Is Colonialism? What Are Some Examples Of Colonalist Ideologies?

    Colonialism? I don't even remember what "colonial" means! Doesn't it mean like having political control over a country? Like a president? Well, not like a president (at least I don't think), but a person who is given political control over a country. Something like that... An example of colonialism: (I'm just guessing here) when a very powerful political person becomes a leader of a country.
