Colonial troops or colonial army refers to various military units recruited from, or used as garrison troops in, colonial territories. == Colonial background == Such colonies may lie overseas or in areas dominated by neighbouring land powers such as China or Russia. Colonial troops have been used by Imperial powers whether ancient (such as Carthage〔 Note for example: 〕 and Rome), or modern (such as Great Britain, France, Netherlands, Denmark, the United States, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Portugal). Sometimes they have been recruited under local leaders, as auxiliaries, at other times directly under pay and officers from the colonial power. They must in turn be seen as part of larger systems of power projection, which may also contain chains of overseas bases and refuelling stations, ships, aircraft, alliance systems and fiscal strength.〔Karl Hack and Tobias Rettig 2006, eds, ''Colonial Armies in Southeast Asia''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「colonial troops」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
