Thoughts at the End of 9/2 History Class

Today I learned the small difference between Imperialism and Colonialism. I have always used thought these words to be synonyms so from now on, I will have to be more thoughtful of my word usage. Also, I have a deeper understanding of the wide array of reasons a country could have for governing other nations. I'm curious to learn more about one of the major themes of my favorite book. Learning more about Imperialism and Colonialism should enhance my knowledge of the setting of Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
