Imperial Relationships
colony: area in which a foreign nation gained total
control over the land and its population. Colony
comes from the Latin words colonus, meaning
“farmer,” and colere, meaning “to cultivate.” From
what you learned in Chapter 7, what did the word
colonus mean in the Roman Empire?
Imperial Relationships
protectorate: colony in which the native ruler keeps his
title, but officials of the foreign power
actually control the region. The word protector comes
from the Latin word protegere, meaning
“to cover.” The suffix -ate means “act on in a specified
way.”
Imperial Relationships
condominium: situation occurring when two nations
rule a third nation as partners. Condominium
comes from the Latin prefix com-, which means “with,”
and the Latin word dominium, which
means “domain.”
Antarctica is a de facto condominium, governed by parties to the
Antarctic Treaty that have consulting status.
• Sphere of Influence: a country or area in
which another country has power( to affect
developments although it has no formal
authority.
• The Monroe Doctrine (1823) asserted a U.S. sphere of
influence in the “New World,” excluding further
European colonization in the Americas and presaging
attempts by the United States to intervene in the internal
affairs of smaller neighbors.
Imperial Relationships
• Concession (contract) (sometimes called a concession
agreement): a contractual right to carry on a certain kind of
business or activity in an area, such as to explore or develop
its natural resources or to operate a "concession stand" within
a venue.
• Concession (territory): an area within one country that is
administered by another, usually conceded by a weaker
country to a stronger one.
• Guantanamo Bay: leased from Cuba (which now disputes the
lease) under 1903 and 1934.
