Colonialism is the practice of extending and maintaining political, social, economic and cultural domination over a territory and its people by another people, in pursuit of interests defined in an often distant metropole whose agents also claim superiority. Colonialism functions by differentiating the targeted land and people from the colonizers, and rather than outright annexation it typically culminates in organizing the colonized into colonies kept separate from the colonizers' own metropole; it can deepen into settler colonialism, in which settlers from one or more colonizing metropoles occupy a territory with the intention of partially or completely supplanting the existing indigenous peoples.
