INTRODUCTION
It is a practice or policy of control by individual people or power over other gathering or
areas. Colonization refer large scale of gathering movements from one place to another where
migrants maintain their strong links with their forebear former nation (MacDonald, 2019).
Portugal is a country which is situated in southern Europe on Iberian peninsula. It is part
of the countries bordering it or their inhabitants and western most country in Europe that is
bordered through the Atlantic ocean to the west and south and through Spain from north and
east. This country was essential in world exploration for two aspects, a prince from Portugal
Henry the navigator was very interested in exploration. Invention in navigation conduct to bigger
knowledge of earth science. This country has links with England since 1100s by a accord.
The Portuguese colonial empire was imperturbable of the overseas colonies and
territories that were governed by Portugal. The empire was started in 15th century and conduct
the early 16th century it expanded over the globe, with bases in north and south America, Africa
and several regions of Asia Oceania. Portugal accomplished independence in 1668 after revolt
and war extended through the stubborn assurance of Philip IV to maintain its patrimony. This
report concede the legacy of colonization and efforts made to eliminate the colonial influence.
The legacy of colonization.
It has been expansion of capitalism according to system and the higher accumulation of
capitalists with their nation states is known as legacy of colonization. Towards historical factors
directing to state dysfunctionality process on the African continent. Gregarious legacy is more

often revealed. It is a similar perception that colonialism understood not only as colonial rule but
there legacy is responsible for today,s African issue of statehood.
Education
Portuguese colonial legacy can be discovered as ancient factor that directing to state
dysfunctionality, while its evaluation more impenetrable as from current perspective, it could
take some advantage that emanate most of all from the individual official language, similar
historical experience and some sense of non-African identity.
Language
The ancient time spread of Portuguese end-to-end the nation gives rich source of data for
linguist studying how languages change. The development of Portuguese from Latin and their
changes into different non standard varieties. This varieties includes various languages such as
Bozal Spanish, Portuguese based creoles. Clancy Clements exhibits that grammar formation not
only takes place in parent to child communication, but also essentially in adult to adult language.
They were started language with help of expression, drawing or many other ways . After some
time they analyse and try to understand form of communication (Tipton and Desilla, 2019).
Furthermore, an assessment of educational goals, models and methods are also problematic
because in colonization region there were lack of education and they want to grow in
development sector to rule over there. The transitional government lasted no primary changes
were made in educational sector during that period, and expect for the substitution through
political education of religious training in public schools. In difficulties colonialism herd
economic development in some part in Portugal and imbecile it in others, however merely affect
the development of those societies that done by the colonising. It also affected on colonizes
societies.
Economic factor
The Portuguese economy improved its economy through union eight years ago, is
encouraging. It is enjoying its advanced economic growth in nearly two decade, inflame through
record tourism, an changes in the housing market, a growing tech sectors and massive exports
(Holm, Kuusisto, and Rissanen, 2019).
Politics
The legacy of colonial in political ideas directing to rebellion because both of these were
underlying roots of dissent that riled colonist, this anger was taken out in the insurgency.

They were used to civil autonomy due to salutary neglect their civil rights or freedom that defend
them from the state, there were right to trade unrestricted with other countries, vote on things
which are representatives, and many others (Nelson and Luetz, 2021). From the starting of
colonization political factors were basically that the colonists were British citizens, however ran
their political parties and churches divide from British government. When British try to
challenged these ideas, colonist were arouse to overthrow.
History and Identity
The spectral of empire holds a certain allure, greatness, glory, promising power.
Particularly concerned through this have been the old colonial giants of Europe, including
France. It identified by gathering which they had same region and came from other country or
region (Anantamongkolkul, Butcher and Wang, 2019).
Social culture
The affect of social colonialism based upon the number settlers of European origin, it
elicited labour migration and level of investment about colonial in term of health and education
sector that relates towards various practices of atonic and religious discrimination or allowance.
The colonial influence and reclaim pre-colonial culture.
The impact of colonialism are most permanent language. Western colonialism has abolish
languages all over the world such as Africa, Latin America and many other places. The colonial
influence means hold through one power across a dependent area or people. It refer when one
nation conquer another, acquiring its gathering and exploiting it and forcing its own language,
culture values on its people (Webb and Lahiri-Roy, 2019). The identity of colonial it is the
embody attitude of atonic that felt through people as a result of colonization. After a careful
3

analysis of the situation, they motivated the native people and take up arms against the
colonizers, they make majority and they did re-claim on pre-colonial culture.
CONCLUSION
It is inferred from the above report, about the legacy of colonization in Portuguese. The
impact of colonial rule in context of language, education, economy, politics, identity and social
structures. The colonial influence and reclaim-pre colonial culture, all the factors are summarized
about findings such as expansion of capitalism as per the system, to rule across the globe they
learned language, enhance their economy, make identity. They holds certain glory, political
power to make own nation but native people developed majority against the colonizers to move
out colonials from country. They influence them and reclaim pre colonial culture.
