The repercussions of European imperialism in Asia were profound and transformative, leading to significant political, social, and economic changes. Colonization disrupted traditional societies, imposed foreign governance, and exploited natural resources for the benefit of colonizers. It often resulted in cultural assimilation and conflicts, loss of sovereignty, and the introduction of Western ideologies, which sometimes led to nationalist movements. The legacies of imperialism also include long-lasting economic disparities and social unrest in many Asian countries, contributing to struggles for independence throughout the 20th century and shaping modern political boundaries and identities.
