Entire books have been written about this. In a nutshell, colonization derailed societies; destroyed existing cultures, religions and systems of government; and gave colonized peoples a persistent inferiority complex. The colonial powers did have some good intentions, like providing education and technology to those who did not have it, but too often it was accompanied by subjugation that denied people their rights and limited them to menial jobs providing raw materials that fueled the empire's economy. Former colonies in Africa, Asia and Latin America are among the world's poorest countries, and are only now beginning to recover from their colonial past.
It should be noted that some former colonies, like Australia, Canada and the United States, are doing quite well. This is largely because they were settled by Europeans, who had money and built a society that could support large numbers of Europeans. In other, later colonies, fewer Europeans moved in, so less infrastructure was built (because Africans, for example, didn't matter very much). Upon independence, a country inherited a government from its colonizer; some of these were very developed, like in the United States, while most were rudimentary in the extreme, like the Congo.

What are the pros and cons of European colonization?
There are pros and cons to both Europeans and Natives. However, the pro's tend to lean more towards Europeans, and the Cons toward Natives. In fact, the only pro that Natives often receive in these instances are advanced technology and sometimes medicinal knowledge. (In many instances of European colonization, the natives are found to have medicinal knowledge that is equal or even greater than that of a Europeans). Usually, however, the land that the natives own is either stolen, or destroyed, and the natives also often receive massive casualties (as do the Europeans). However, for the Europeans, they gain resources, knowledge of land, stolen territory, and great trading.
