INTRODUCTION
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term colonialism refers to the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically. Colonialism has been a key component in establishing a strong and formidable empire during the early 15th Century where the term world only referred to civilized nations in the European continent. As history dictates us, the commencement of Modern colonialism had started with the domination race between the mentioned prevalent European empires. The importance of colonial expansion at this early stage could be manifested by the Popes intervention through the issuance of the Papal bull entitled Inter caetera and the issuance of the Treaty of Tordesillas which divides the world into two and gives all colonial rights to Spain west of the line while Portugal has been vested the rights to colonization in all areas east of the demarcation line. And we all could recall, this empire expansion had lead to the Spanish colonization of the Philippine Archipelago. Indeed the Age of Discovery had paved way for the expansion of other European empires such as the Germans, Russians, Dutch, and the British Empires and even empires outside of the European Continent which includes the American and Japanese Empires. Primarily, the main purpose of early colonization is mainly for discovery of new parcel of lands outside the known world. For people in the known world to find out what lies outside their comfort zone. On the other hand, colonization processes that had occurred before or during World War II primarily intends to set up tactical bases in the most strategic places to assure military supremacy and domination. Only a couple of empires have exercised colonialism with the primary purpose of economic abundance and to secure important raw materials that is essential for the further growth of their empires industrialization and development. Yes, the physical concept of the colonialism ideology has long been eradicated from society with the sudden rise of Neocolonialism which some

scholars refer to as indirect colonialism with emphasis only on economic affiliations. In this paper, I will try to discuss the possibility of the revivification of the colonialism ideology in the modern era. With the rapid depletion of some vital resources in the highly developed and powerful nations of the planet, it is could be considered that the return of such ideology and practice is inevitable and could already be seen at present. Specifically, I would like to foresee the rebirth of colonialism with primary emphasis towards Exploitation Colonialism which throws out of the window other types of colonialism and such as surrogate, shelter, and plantation, and primarily focuses on the exploitation of the raw materials and resources of a colony for the direct benefit of the colony or the empire. As we go through with this hypothesis, we would enumerate the different powerful nations of todays free world that are viable to engage yet again in this process. We would also enumerate the viable nations that will be most vulnerable once powerful nations have started to invade other countries and forcibly take possession of important raw materials for their own benefit. Most importantly, we would be able to discuss the possible means for a colonizer to be successful enough in colonizing a nation and how these countries could in effect, defend their homeland from invasion. And finally, the positive and negative effects that this ideological resurrection would bring once it have been fully realized.
