The Negative Effects Of Imperialism

Imperialism is not needed in our modern world. United states should not dictate their values. We don’t take care of children seriously. We do things with military force. We don’t respect other and we keep creating enemies.

Imperialism is a policy by a stronger nation to create an empire by dominating weaker nations economically, politically, culturally, or militarily. There are many that are for imperialism but also many who are against it. After hearing from both sides of the argument about imperialism, I feel that imperialism is wrong because of moral and political, racial and economic reasons.

Many Americans and Europeans believe that there was many good reasons for imperialism. These people think this because they were the ones that benefited from it. In imperialism, the stronger countries took over the weaker countries and used them for their resources which improved their economy. Most also claim that they helped the countries they were imperializing, but the Europeans were actually hurting them. This led to the natives rebelling which arguably led to World War 1 later on. Imperialism was not justified for multiple reasons because imperialism did improve the lives of many natives and increased global trade, but the majority of the world ended up hurting from it. The negatives outway the positives

Although the imperialism also brought positive effects to their colonials, but it is not good enough to cover the scars they brought to the colonials. Most people have negative impression towards ‘Empire’ and ‘Imperialism’.

Imperialism has been the strongest force this past century; Enslaving natives, while obliterating civilizations. Imperialism is when a country or civilization swallows another country for its land, labor, and raw materials with influence or military force. Imperialism was both, good and bad. Imperialism was a good thing because it expanded existing civilizations, and allowed people to be more civilized under a large military force. Imperialism was a bad thing because people in charge would become too power hungry and try to gain more of everything disregarding the people who are suppose to be civilized. Imperialism is a good thing, most of the time.

Many things contributed to the negative effects imperialism brought upon many countries. For one, the overall aspect of imperialism was forcefully taking over someone's land, thus causing problems among the citizens living there. Pro-imperialists would justify taking over countries by saying they were simply helping the “savages” of the land: bringing them to god, bringing

to this concept, but I think that the disadvantages trump the advantages. In my opinion, The Age

What is imperialism? Imperialism is when a country extends their power to other countries. The native people of India and China resented imperialism because the British were taking away their land and their basic human rights. Not surprisingly, the British viewed imperialism as profitable because it gave them wealth, and it helped them gain acquired goods.

Imperialism is interpreted in two contradictory viewpoints. From one perspective, Imperialism was development or progression. From another angle, Imperialism was an inhumane method to colonize. As a result of Imperialism, following outcomes appeared: extreme discrimination, nationalism, and exchange of cultures. These effects were especially visible in India, Africa, and the Great Britain.

No matter what your view on imperialism is , it is an important part of world history. Africa is a perfect historical example of imperialism. Africa is home to countless resources including cocoa, diamonds, as well as metals such as iron and copper. In the 1800s, these resources were very valuable, especially to Europe. These resources couldn’t be found in European countries, so they were forced to go to places like Africa to get them. With the end of the slave trade from Africa to most of Europe, as well as countries like Italy and Germany settling, Africa became a prime piece of real estate for European countries. Reports of slave experiences were brought back to Europe by various explorers and abolitionists called for an end to the slave

Imperialism in the 19th Century took place all over the world and changed the course of history. One of the things lost in the imperialistic age was the indigenous cultures of the countries that were imperialized. India was one example. They were colonized by the British as a financial asset. Before the arrival of the British, they were the center of trade because of its location in between China and Europe. That’s why England wanted India so bad because then they could tax all trade from Asia and Europe and make lots of money.

Imperialism is a type of advocacy of empire, it originated from the latin word “imperium”. Imperialism has greatly shaped the contemporary world. It allowed the rapid spread of technologists and ideas. Imperialism is a very helpful and productive policy to many countries. Many people in different countries found this important.

It all starts with the British East India Company in 1757. After the Mughal dynasty started collapsing 50 years earlier, this company saw an opportunity to take over a huge country -- and they did so, for 100 years, until the Sepoy (Indian soldiers) started rebelling against them. Then, in came the British government, in 1857, and made India officially a British colony.The government the British had in place and left behind was, and is, highly efficient, but the British ruined India’s soil and there was massive deforestation, which led to many famines, and it was only after the British left India altogether that India’s population became more educated and literate. Dr. Lalvani is one of the few who believe that imperialism was beneficial,

Imperialism was all about power, because whether it was militarily or economically, the country taking over needed ascendancy to assert their influence and control onto another. It isn’t too hard for one to make the assumption that the small, underdeveloped countries are not going to be able to assert control, therefore, because the developing countries are not WEIRD, they will be the ones taken over. In addition to having their economy and government controlled for them, the long term imperialism drains their small scale industry and resources. Instead of being their own country, they are the epigone of another. So, imperialised countries had a pause button pressed on their political growth. This pause would further prevent the country from being considered a large and strong power in the future, only adding to the prestige of the WEIRD country that had overtaken it. Industrialization insured lasting political power for rich and powerful
