| A colony is a place ruled by a foreign country. When we think of colonies we generally think of the colonies ruled by the Europeans, like America, Australia and Canada. The beginning of these European colonies happened during a time known as “The Age of Discovery”. Long before this though, the Romans had colonies as far away as the Middle East. |
