How did colonialism promote nationalism |
|
Answer»
While propounding about colonialism we have to swift through era of ABUNDANT trade that existed between the Asia and Europe, which was in later period say around 15th CENTURY was largely curtailed by annexation of Constantinople by Ottoman Turks. This hurdle evoked a serious and forbidding idea among Europeans (Esp. Spain, PORTUGAL) to explore a naval route to Asia. Initial MONOPOLY of trade was held by few countries which brought envy among Europeans. As time passes one country after one started their expedition towards Asia for trading. Once they started trading, they fought among themselves to establish supremacy over one another, this feel ultimately lead to take control of the source country. Though everything occurred on the basis of trade, it always had a ultra nationalism or regionalism to show their dominance and superiority over others, same happened in case of America, AFRICA etc. |
