Colonial conflicts refer to the struggles and wars that occurred between European powers and indigenous populations or between rival colonial nations during the age of exploration and colonization. These conflicts often arose over land, resources, and trade routes, leading to significant changes in territorial control and the displacement of native peoples. Notable examples of colonial conflicts include the French and Indian War, which pitted the British against the French and their Native American allies, and the Anglo-Zulu War, where the British Empire clashed with the Zulu Kingdom. These conflicts shaped the political landscape and influenced the course of history in various regions.
