Imperialism is the policy of extension of one nation's authority by territorial and/ or economic means, over other nations. Colonialism is the exploitation of other nation(s) by a stronger nation for the development of trade and control of its peoples. It therefore involves the dominant settlement (colonization) of those countries.
They are somewhat similar, however imperialism is when an area or a people become incorporated in an empire and receive somewhat the same treatment as all subjects of the empire, see. However, in colonialist case, they do not receive the same treatment are rather subjugated by force and are by all means secondary citizens or subjects of the colonial power.

It depends on the speaker's political usage. But many consider economic exploitation and domination of other countries to be imperialism, while preferring to use the word colonialism for the acquisition of formally subject territories and establishment of settlements in other lands.

Colonialism is the system that uses colonies as a source of raw materials and a market for finished goods. It is different from Imperialism in that its motivations are purely economic.

Colonialism is the exploitation by a stronger nation towards a weaker nation. The use of the weaker nation's resources is to strengthen and enrich the stronger nation. Colonizing nations generally dominate the resources, labor and markets of the colonial territory. Colonialism is essentially a system of direct political, economic and cultural intervention by a powerful country in a weaker one. Neocolonialism on the other hand is a term used by post-colonial critics of developed countries' involvement in the developing world. Critics of neocolonialism state that private, foreign business companies continue to exploit the resources of the states that were once colonized by an outside country.
