As former President Bill Clinton said in his 2000 Columbus Day speech, “...in many…

Colonization Colonial expansion is often times credited to a countries economic gain, in regards to the development of trade routes, tributes, taxation, and a surplus of raw goods (Belcastro et al., 2007; Galaty, 2002; Hammond, 1992; Harding, 1992; Klaus et al., 2009; Larsen, 1994; Larsen et al., 2001; Schrader, 2012; Stipčević, 1977; Wilkes, 1992; Wright, 2014).
