More About Colonies
Long ago, many lands were taken by other lands. This was called colonization. The new rulers took what they wanted. They made new homes in these places. This changed the lives of the people who lived there.
Today, some places are still colonies. They may have their own rules, but others still have power. This can make life hard for the people who live there.
In the future, we can learn from the past. We can help places that are still colonies. We can make sure all people are free and happy.
