Specific connections to science and personal studies will be explored as this site develops. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups will be useful. Culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture is also significant. This is connected to families, education, economics, and religion. Other areas of government including law, government structure, government activities, and other particular governments can be connected.	Links to other sites: Not yet developed.
Connections to sociology including social structure and change and communities will also be explored. Various peoples of the world have either ruled or been subjected to colonial empires. Asiatic peoples, Western civilization, African peoples, and American Indian peoples are all significant. Nations including the United States, China, India, and Indonesia provide some basis for examining colonial empires. Colonial empires have a significant history, which began in classical and medieval times but is principally modern. These developed considerably in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, although they also began to break up. In the 19th century, while some colonial empires began to expand, the older ones were breaking up. In the 20th century, there has been a steep decline in colonial empires so that comparatively only a few remnants still exist. These can be traced through the early 20th century, early-mid 20th century, mid 20th century, late-mid 20th century, and late 20th century, and examined in the early 21st century. Their future is obscure.
