Colonization refers to the act of mastering a territory and its inhabitants by another region or country, creating a colony. Globalization is a large-scale economic, technological, social, and cultural process that increases communication and interdependence between countries worldwide. While colonization involves the domination of one territory by another, globalization is a broader process of growing connections between nations through trade, culture, and information sharing. Both processes can impact the economic and cultural integration of countries or regions, but colonization specifically refers to the establishment of political control over a colony.
