They basically thought their colonies were great because they benefited off the trade marks and laws they put into place.
Explanation:
European colonialism and colonization was the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over other societies and territories, founding a colony, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically. Research suggests, the current conditions of postcolonial countries have roots in colonial actions and policies.[1][2] For example, colonial policies, such as the type of rule implemented,[3] the nature of investments,[4][5] and identity of the colonizers,[6] are cited as impacting postcolonial states. Examination of the state-buildingprocess, economic development, and cultural normsand mores shows the direct and indirect consequences of colonialism on the postcolonial states.
