Colonialism and Imperialism

Colonialism is when a nation takes over another nation, with the intent to transfer its people into the conquered land.  However, the people that are transferred, maintain their allegiance to their home country, in this case the British Empire, and bring over their customs and traditions with them.(Stanford)
On the other hand, Imperialism is when a nation takes over a nation, but this time with the intent to command, or control its inhabitants.(Stanford)
