19. Devastation of Environment When the raw materials were taken out of the colonies, there was no concern for the environment. There are still environmental problems today because of this.

20. Political Systems When the colonizers set up governments, they imposed their own political systems. The native ones were ignored, or banned. The locals did not necessarily respect the colonizer’s systems. Aboriginals in Canada are still fighting against the government systems.

21. Dealing with the Natives Often, the locals were trained to take low-level positions in government administrations. They were also trained to serve in the local militia. When the colonizers left, it was these people who took control of the governments. This led to a lot of problems. Inexperience and poor governance at the very least, and extreme violence at the very worst.

22. New Political Boundaries Countries were created with no respect for traditional boundaries. Ethnic groups did not always live in the same area. When the countries’ borders were created, the ethnic groups were split.

23. Language In a lot of colonies, local languages were banned. Sometimes this was bad, as it played a big part in destroying cultures. But there were also positives. In a lot of areas, there were many languages spoken. The creation of a common language opened up communication where there was none before.

24. Culture The colonizer’s culture often was imposed on local populations. Examples of this lives on today…which is why Cricket is played and loved in South Africa, Australia, and multiple countries in the West Indies. It did destroy many local cultures though.

25. Infrastructure Roads, canals, and other infrastructure was created to serve the economic needs of the colonizers. The needs of the locals were ignored quite often. Sometimes, the largest populations were not properly served.

26. Neo-Colonialism NEO means new. The way that colonialism happens now, countries pressure other countries to do things using economic policies. A lot of things are the same, but the “colonizers” are not the main beneficiaries anymore.
