However, the European powers usually practiced a system of segregation, which excluded the native people from engaging in or benefiting from the occupation of the imperialists. The bulk of the country's natural resources were extracted for the sole purpose of enriching the coffers of European nations, while the people in the countries often languished in poverty.
