Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Colonial History For practical convenience the history of the territories beyond the confines of Europe that are inhabited or governed by men of European stock is classified under the rough heading of "Colonial History." In the United States of America, Brazil and the Spanish-speaking states of Central and South America the early colonies have cast off the yoke of the mother-country, and colonial history is concerned with their story only during the period that preceded the declaration of their independence. The subject does not deal with the internal history of particular oversea communities, which belongs rather to the "history of colonies, " but with the process whereby Europeans have extended their influence beyond their own boundaries, and have either set up thriving communities of their own race or established their rule over native populations.
