A book about the colonization of Mars demands at least a tacit engagement with the fraught concept of colonization itself. This chapter offers a glancing blow with the sad, cruel, and often disastrous history of how one nation sailed across seas or travelled over land to conquer another people and set up new settlements far from home. The very notion of colonization is regarded in contemporary scholarly circles in a negative light, and past colonization efforts are nearly universally criticized (Kohn and Reddy 2017; Tharoor 2016).
