The Renaissance was not just a period of extraordinary art; it signified a shift in thought, technological advancements, and a broader world view, driving exploration and colonization.
While colonization enabled technological advancements and infrastructure development in the colonized regions, it also ushered in a legacy of economic inequality and resentment, fundamentally altering those societies.
Of the major global powers, only Sweden and Switzerland managed to remain free from colonization amidst the territorial ambitions of notable European nations like Britain and France.
Countries like Ethiopia and Liberia in Africa, and Turkey and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, managed to evade the grasp of European colonialism, preserving their sovereignty.
