Colonialism: Crash Course Geography #39

Empire, imperialism, and colonialism are all interrelated tactics of geopolitics that are used to achieve similar goals of one state maintaining economic, political, or even cultural dominance over other territories.

We’ll also take a look at how some countries today, like Thailand, have taken the control of the narrative through culinary colonization.
