The document discusses colonialism in Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart. It notes that the first sign of colonization was the arrival of the first white man in the native lands. The strategy of colonizers was to fall the native peoples apart by changing their fundamental beliefs, which led to opposition from other natives and changes in families and treatment of the dead and infants. Okonkwo and Obierika took note of the missionaries' strategy of colonization.
