Don’t forget the historical ignorance. The colonial era started around 1400 (1450?) Darwin didn’t publish his theory of evolution until about 1850. Colonialism was pretty much over by 1900 (1940?).

Colonialism got started with the ancient Greeks.

But the modern era of colonialism can be dated to roughly 1494/5, with the second of Columbus’ expeditions to the New World.
