Though [often associated with imperialism](https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/colonialism/), the two words have different Latin etymologies that drive how the connotation of colonialism and the word colony have evolved. The most notable instances of colonialism to the general public are Western colonialism and recently, neo-colonialism.
The practice of colonialism was most prominent with the British, Ottoman, and other European empires upon regions in the Americas, Asia, and Africa where slave trade was implemented as an economic vehicle. Contrary to popular belief, the colonialism also affected people of European descent, most notably, the Irish. Some studies have tried to [clarify the question](https://www.jstor.org/stable/20720270?seq=1) of whether or not this is true, but they tend to be written by non-native researchers, therefore muting a much needed context. Be mindful when researching this topic to note the origin of the researchers with respect to the colonies and colonizers they are writing about.

An extension of colonialism that appears in the 21st century is neo-colonialism - a more pervasive form of imposing ideological and economic dominance on a country after it has been declared independent from its colonizer. The stealth nature of neo-colonialism can be traced to treaties, agreements, and ideologies that have been imparted from the oppresors on the oppressed because of previous dependencies.
