It was founded that the Americans wanted to spread their power after the British colonial period and the Orient elites attempted to spread their power over the Americans. Eventually, both the parties understood the importance of hybridization with local culture for their survival. Furthermore, there is close tie between Colonialism and Post-colonialism.
