Both the East India Company and the Hudson's Bay Company were started by merchants and traders, not governments, though they went on to engage in extensive colonisation activities, and even sometimes war. | |

Imperialism resulted in one the largest drain wealth from the colonies to the imperialists because of the imbalanced trade they deliberately created. | |
