Hundreds of years ago, no tribe had any idea how colonialism works. Not until white-skinned men in stately robes and body armors set foot on their grounds and laid claim to their lands. Natives did not need to have civilized minds or education to oppose them, for they believed that it was wrong a nation to invade another nation. Then struggle broke out. Many times, some people have tried to rationalize colonialism by invoking national interest. But in the present world guided by a universal principle of morality, colonialism is a black mark in history. It has always been the driving force behind bloody revolutions, shattering wars and moral corruption. In every colony, it is almost certain that a struggle for independence will eventually arise. Why do people really struggle for independence against colonial rule?

Tribes all over the world have battled each other for control it wasn't only colonialism. I mean Genghis Khan, the Visigoths, all did the same in a much more violent way then as happened in the colonial times.
