Colonization involves a group taking over and settling in a new land, often oppressing or killing the indigenous people. Historically, European countries were the largest colonizers, colonizing Latin America, the United States, Canada, and Brazil, imposing their rule and culture on the local populations. However, other countries also engaged in colonization, such as Indonesia colonizing West Papua and China colonizing Tibet.
