Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neocolonialism refers to the continued control and exploitation of former colonies by wealthy, former colonial nations through political, financial, and military power. While European powers did control African countries during the 16th century, neocolonialism is a contemporary phenomenon that exists today. South American and African countries did gain independence from Europe, but this did not necessarily end neocolonialism as it continues to manifest through various forms of economic and political influence. Globalization and the process of wealthy trade nations are not necessarily synonymous with neocolonialism, although they can be interconnected.
