(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

A history of colonisation has left many poorer countries with borders that cut across ethnic groups and with resources that were taken away by former colonial powers.

In KS3 Geography, development includes social, economic and political change. You will examine how history, including colonisation and trade, has shaped today’s patterns of wealth and poverty.

Key Terms

Colonisation: When one country takes control of another place, ruling it and using its land, labour and resources for its own benefit.
Global development: The way countries change over time in wealth, health, education and quality of life.
Inequality: Unequal access to money, services or opportunities between people or countries.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How did colonisation affect development in poorer countries?

Colonisation often removed valuable resources, created unfair trade patterns and left borders that caused conflict. This made it harder for many countries to build strong, independent economies.

What does colonisation mean in Geography?

In Geography, colonisation means one country controls another territory, usually far away, and uses its land, people and resources to increase its own power and wealth.

Why are some former colonies still less developed today?

Some former colonies are less developed because they started independence with weak infrastructure, heavy debts, narrow export economies and political tensions linked to colonial rule.
