 0     years_colonized grapher/harvard/2023-09-18/colonial_dates_dataset/colonial_dates_dataset#years_colonized   2 major           Number of years the country has been colonized from overseas by the European colonial power(s) in a specific year, between Belgium, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Italy, or a combination of them.   
[]
 This is a cumulative sum of the years the country has been colonized, across the entire time series. Colonizers or countries not colonized show a value of 0. Years are defined from last date aggregations available in the Colonial Dates Dataset. This means that when sources differ, years of colonization are defined from the last date between them. This is different from mean date aggregations (also available), which averages the dates of colonization across the original sources. Years have been expanded to show the full range of years in the dataset, from 1462 to 2022. The original dataset only includes the years where a country was colonized.       int
