This overview examines the expansive colonial pursuits of European powers such as Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and England in Southeast Asia from the 15th to the 19th century. The interplay of trade, military might, and cultural exchange, alongside the brutal enforcement of monopolies, highlights the exploitation of indigenous populations. The impact of these colonial ventures on local economies, religions, and social structures is explored, alongside the emergence of new ideologies and resistance movements, leading to an era defined by both oppression and cultural adaptation.
