Imperialism and colonialism both mean the political and economic advantage over a land and the indigenous populations they control, scholars sometimes struggle to illustrate the difference between the two. Although imperialism and colonialism focus on the suppression of one another, Colonialism is when a country takes control over another, then Imperialism refers to the political and monetary dominance, either formally or informally. Colonialism is seen to be the mastermind practicing how to start dominating and then imperialism can be seen as the one creating the idea driving the practice in colonialism. Colonialism is when the imperial nation begins a conquest over an area and then eventually is able to rule over the areas the previous nation had controlled. Colonialism's core meaning is the exploitation of the valuable assets and supplies of the nation that was conquered and the conquering nation then benefits from the spoils of the war. Imperialism's meaning is to create an empire, by conquering the other continents lands and therefore increasing its dominance further. Colonialism is the builder and preserver of the colonial possessions in an area by a population coming from a different region. Colonialism can completely change the existing social structure, physical structure and economics of an area; it’s not unusual that the characteristics of the conquering peoples are inherited by the conquered indigenous population.
