Imperialism is different from colonialism in a way that imperialism refers to influencing the economic policies of a state whereas colonialism refers to influencing a state by occupying its territory. In imperialism, governments are required to undertake certain reforms in order to receive loans or aid. The United States relationship with Puerto Rico and the Philippines are the contemporary examples of imperialism. In Colonialism, a state dominates another state by acquiring, establishing and maintaining a political and legal role. Sub-Saharan Africa and India were once colonies.
In Africa after 1500, the rise of capitalism opened the way for Christian missionaries to come from Europe to trade in Western and southern Africa that led to the spread of Christianity.
