Exploitation colonialism

Exploitation colonialism

Exploitation colonialism is the policy of conquering distant lands to exploit its natural and human resources. This practice contrasts with settler colonialism, a policy of conquering distant lands not with the intention of exploiting its resources, but rather to send settlers in order to shape its demographic similarly as in the metropole.
