The people started work collectively and the small scale industries came into existence. But with the growth of science the missionaries were being introduced in
6、the field of production. It was inevitable to meet the greater demand of the goods all across the world. This paved the way for factory system which in turn resulted in the growth of capitalism as middle class people who were capable of invest the capital became the factory owners and accumulated hu
7、ge capital at the cost of the labor provided by the working class people. So the growth of capitalism, exploitation of the working class people, increasing gap in the society, were some important negative effects of colonialism.From eighteenth Century60 tonineteenth Century70 years,thefirstindustria
