COLONIAL POLICY AND THE EMERGENCE OF MIGRATION FLOWS (LATE 19TH – EARLY 20TH CENTURIES)

Abstract

This article analyzes the migration processes that emerged under the influence of colonial policy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from historical, political, and socio-economic perspectives. It highlights the intensification of population movement resulting from the colonial expansion of European states, the formation of labor migration, and demographic shifts between metropolises and colonial territories. Furthermore, industrialization, economic necessities, political pressure, and social factors are examined as the primary drivers of migration flows. The study scientifically evaluates the impact of migration processes on cultural integration, national identity, and inter-societal relations.
