Question

How did colonisation affect the nations resources ?

Answer 1

1) The very basis of colonisation was to exploit certain resources in colonies.
2) It was developing technologies that tempted them to abuse resources of other regions and establish their rule over the colonies.
3) In countries such as India, resource development not only involved the availability of resources, but also the value of human resources, skill and the past understandings of the people.
4) This had resulted in some regions having a poor resource base but being economically developed.
5) Also many regions were rich in resources but defined in economically backward regions.
