When foreign powers colonize another area, certain people and families in that area become friendly with the colonizers and benefit to become rich and powerful while the rest of the people in the area remain poor. This inequality usually stays in place even after the colonizers leave, resulting in certain families continuing to hold all the power and money, which makes it very difficult for true democracy to happen and causes corruption at various levels, meaning that tax money does not go into infrastructure, etc., that would benefit the society as a whole.
