Colonization occurred when powerful countries took over weaker peoples' lands for economic gain such as capturing slaves, stealing natural resources, and increasing wealth. For example, Spain colonized parts of Latin America and the indigenous population mixed with European settlers, creating a Mestizo culture. England also colonized what is now the United States, seizing Native American lands and importing slaves from Africa since indigenous peoples were not taken as slaves. Globalization has expanded since colonization began and traditional cultures are at risk of disappearing as Western influence grows.
