Commerce
The interchange of goods or commodities, especially on a large scale, between different countries or between populations within the same country.

Colonialism
The aggregate of various economic, political, and social policies by which an imperial power maintains or extends its control over other areas or peoples. It includes the practice of or belief in acquiring and retaining colonies. The emphasis is less on its identity as an ideological political system than on its designation in a period of history.
