There is no statement about colonization in the lead. There is a reference to colonialism. Not the same thing. Colonization is a description of what happened. It is a neutral fact. The view that it was colonialist or colonialism is an opinion about the objectives and nature of the colonization. Colonization is like saying a company carried out exploration in country X. Colonialist/colonialism is like saying that the exploration amounted to exploitation of country X. ''' - talk''' "
