Essay Help! European Colonization

[Randarkmaan]

The Indians (of India that is) had as said above traded with china for a long time, later they traded chinese goods with the Romans either by buying them directly from the chinese or through South-East Asian merchants in India.

Also Oman in later centuries had some African colonies. And the Arab conquest of Maghreb can be considered colonization since many Arabs settled there and became overlords, though in the 9th century most North African states came to be ruled by Berber dynasties, still the Arab colonisation (if you may call it that) had a profound cultural and linguistic effect on the Maghreb. In African countries further south many Arabs set up trading colonies from which they also spread Islam and many of these were highly educated and valued as advisors and admnistrators in these African states.

Anyway, colonisation and exploration is not unique to Europe.
