> Where is the colonialism within Europe?

If you see colonialism as a foreign group establishing control over a people and region over a long time, then:

* The Roman Empire colonized Europe for hundreds of years

* Napoleon colonized most of continental Europe (this one might be debatable)

* The British colonized Ireland and Scotland

* The Ottomans colonized the Balkans

* Muslim Caliphates colonized Spain/Al-Andalus

* The Vikings colonized areas around the north sea.

And probably a lot of smaller scales things I am missing.
