Definition
The process of establishing colonial control; or describing the act of bringing territories under colonial rule.
Etymology
Present participle of 'colonialize.' Used to describe the ongoing or active process of colonization.
Kelly Says
When historians describe 'colonializing powers,' they're talking about aggressive, systematic expansion—it emphasizes the active verb, the deliberate conquest, which makes it clearer than just calling them 'colonial powers.'
