    The term "imperialism" is also widely used to refer to the colonization process in Africa, Asia and Oceania, which began in the second half of the 19th century. This process is also known among historians as neocolonialism.

    Imperialism was very strong in the world, during the period mentioned (between 1884 and 1914), but the presence of Europeans as colonizers in Africa and Asia occurred until the second half of the 20th century. Imperialism left serious consequences in these places, such as:

    The demarcation of artificial borders has had negative impacts in Africa to date and has caused numerous tensions between African nations.

    During neocolonialism, a series of ethnic disputes arose influenced by European action. One of the most notable cases occurred in Rwanda, a region that had been part of the Belgian Congo. In 1994, a major massacre took place in the country, and Hutus were responsible for the death of approximately 1 million Tutsis.

    Economic exploitation has left profound marks, and even today, the absolute majority of African countries suffer from unstable economies.

    The natives were subjected to harsh violence. A notable case was in the Belgian Congo, when 10 million people died as a result of the colonial violence of the Belgians.
