    British imperialism improved the lives of the colonized Indians to no extent due to the unreasonable economic policies that lead to famine, the extreme poverty caused by the heavy taxation of Indians, and the unjust and one-sided British government that gave the colonized no say. The lives of the Indians were not improved from the British imperialism because of the implementation of cash crops and mercantilism that lead to starvation. Cash crops are crops produced for their commercial value rather than for the use of the grower. The British forced Indians to only grow cash crops to strengthen the British economy.…

    The British empire had established many colonies across the east border of the New World. The British viewed these colonies as an essential source of new materials and paid the colonists off in monopolies. When the British colonists landed in America, they considered themselves as a part of Great Britain. They lived by the Salutary Neglect, “trade regulations for the colonies were laxly enforced and imperial supervision of internal colonial affairs was loose” (Wallenfeldt). This allowed the British to remain in control of the American Colonists.…

    Being an educated european citizen, I feel that I should express my support for Imperialism. Since China was overflowing with unexploited natural resources and the government wasn't very strong in the first place, this made it easy for neighboring colonies and imperialists to take control. Though this may seem frightening for the citizens of China, they have yet to see the great things to come. China in turn will become a more cultured enviornment and it's growth will be astonishing! This won't only benefit China, but the country that gains control as well. Thats more land and more opprotunities for industrial growth. Hello! More jobs and a wealthier economy! I think Imperialism is a wonderful thing because it's a win-win…

    Colonialism is the establishment, influence, and exploitation of a piece of land through a political power from another country. One way for colonialism to happen is to create settlements in a foreign region. The Spanish had enough resources and supreme military power to take over the Americas despite the rebelling natives. “The Europeans conquered it, in spite of resistance by some 300 native people” (Chapman 4). “As early of 1598, Juan de Onate had led a group of colonists to the region north of the Rio Grande. These colonists set up small agricultural villages and ranches along the rivers and established the mission and town of Santa Fe in 1609” (Downey 43). Establishment of colonies meant more power, and the goal of the Spanish, French,…

    Imperialism caused more problems than progress because of the destruction of the Zulu tribe and culture, as seen through the control Shaka Zulu had over his tribe, the military prowess of the Zulu tribe, and the land taken by white men. Shaka Zulu had absolute control over his tribe and territory, which spanned across present day KwaZulu/Natal area (King Shaka Zulu). Given Shaka’s iron grip on his nation, an attempted invasion of his lands or assimilation to Western culture would not be taken lightly. Not only would it destabilize the Zulu government, it would cause conflicts amongst the Zulu people, as some people would adopt more Western ways and others remain traditional. The Zulu tribe was also comparatively advanced militarily, having…
