Give a comparative description of the actions of the European colonialists

Give a comparative description of the actions of the European colonialists in the open lands. What was common? how can the differences be explained?

The common thing in the actions of the European colonialists in the newly discovered lands was the following:

1. Establishing your own control through military invasion and presence.

2. Maintenance of the regime by suppressing uprisings or attempts of another kind of local self-determination.

3. Removal of natural resources through robbery or the establishment of rules for unfavorable trade.

4. Exploitation of the local population on unfavorable terms or slave labor.

The differences lay in the fact that some of the colonies became places of mass resettlement and subsequently turned into self-sufficient states. The United States, Australia, and New Zealand are a prime example of successful settlement colonies. The rest of the colonies, which were exclusively sources of resources, ultimately gained independence from the colonialists, since the influx of migrants from the conquering countries was minimal.
