Examples of imperial colonization in the following topics:
-
- Postcolonial discourse is an academic discipline that analyzes the cultural legacies of colonialism and of imperialism.
- Anthropology, by means of which Western intellectuals generated knowledge about non-Western peoples, which colonial institutions then used to subjugate them into a colony to serve the economic, social, and cultural interests of the imperial power.
- Colonialist literature, wherein the writers ideologically justified imperialism and colonialism with cultural representations (literary and pictorial) of the colonized country and its people, as perpetually inferior, which the imperial steward must organise into a colonial society to be guided towards European modernity.
- Native cultural-identity in a colonized society, and the dilemmas inherent to developing a post-colonial national identity after the de-colonization of the country, whilst avoiding the counter-productive extremes of nationalism.
- Postcolonial literature is a body of literary writing that responds to the intellectual discourse of European colonization in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Pacific, and other post-colonial areas throughout the globe.
-
- In the late 19th century, the European imperial powers occupied and colonized most of the continent, leaving Ethiopia and Liberia as the only two fully independent states.
- (Liberia, in fact, is the only country in Africa rooted in U.S. colonization; beginning in 1820, the region was colonized by African Americans from the United States, most of whom were freed slaves).
- In places where traditional rule had been fairly decentralized and egalitarian, such as regions inhabited by the Igbo, the British introduced new centralized leadership systems and incorporated their own "traditional leaders. " In most cases, European colonizers disregarded native political and cultural systems, influencing current systems or imposing new systems upon people under their military control.

- The colon has a wide range of uses.
- The most common use is to inform the reader that whatever follows the colon proves, explains, defines, describes, or lists elements of what preceded the colon.
- The elements that follow the colon may or may not be complete sentences.
- Because the colon is preceded by a sentence, it is a complete sentence whether what follows the colon is another sentence or not.
- Similar to a dash and a quotation mark, a segmental colon can introduce speech.

- The dominant 17th- and 18th-century British ideology of blue water imperialism was founded on the values of commerce and freedom—for some.
- Therefore, blue water imperial ideology was not necessarily expansionist in terms of acquiring a territorial empire; rather, it aimed for an institutional framework of commercial, international trade in the Atlantic, which the imperialists believed would function as a mechanism for extending British imperial influence to the colonies.
- British liberals considered this framework of blue water empire to be anti-despotic—the government sought trade markets abroad in order to extend imperial influence commercially, without arbitrary territorial expansion.
- Hence, commerce should be an unfettered enterprise: the colonies and the metropole would weave together a common culture and identity through mutual and harmonious trading interests as opposed to conquering foreign territories with expensive armies and engaging in conflict with colonized peoples.
- Hence, for liberals, maritime meant using the navy to establish British superiority over the seas so that commerce and colonization could occur, as they perceived, peacefully.

- Colon polyps, abnormal growths of tissue in the colon, are of concern due to their potential for harboring cancerous cells.
- Colon polyps are not commonly associated with symptoms.
- Colon polyps are a concern because of the potential for colon cancer being present microscopically and the risk of benign colon polyps transforming over time into malignant ones.
- Even though colon cancer is usually not found in polyps smaller than 2.5 cm, all polyps found are removed since the removal of polyps reduces the future likelihood of developing colon cancer.
- Colonoscopies are preferred over sigmoidoscopies because they allow the examination of the entire colon, a very important aspect considering that more than half of the colonic polyps occur in the upper colon which is not reached during sigmoidoscopies.
-
- Some colonizing bacteria, such as Corynebacteria sp. and viridans streptococci, prevent the adhesion and colonization of pathogenic bacteria.
- Colonization of the stomach lining by this bacterium can lead to gastric ulcer and cancer.
- An example of the former is the anaerobic bacteria species, which colonizes the mammalian colon, and an example of the latter is various species of staphylococcus that exist on human skin.
- Neither of these colonizations are considered infections.
- Some colonizing bacteria, such as Corynebacteria sp. and viridans streptococci, prevent the adhesion and colonization of pathogenic bacteria.
-
- Diverticulosis, also known as diverticular disease, is the condition of having outpocketings of the colonic mucosa and submucosa due to weaknesses of muscle layer in the colon wall.
- The clinical forms of colonic diverticulosis are uncomplicated and complicated colonic diverticulosis.
- The strength of the colon decreases with age in all parts of the colon, except the ascending colon.
- Colonic diverticulosis increases in frequency with age.
- Diverticulosis as seen endoscopically, showing characteristic diverticula in the colon, which are outpocketings of the colonic mucosa and submucosa through weaknesses in the muscle layers in the colon wall.
-
- Americans asserted the right to colonize vast expanses of North America beyond their country's borders, especially into Oregon, California, and Texas.
- The war was opposed by Whigs in the US (including Congressman Abraham Lincoln) who considered it a European-style war of conquest and imperialism.
