    Trade routes used by Indian Ocean mariners were important to the region's commerce. They needed to find faster, easier routes to the destination. At first, many merchants would have to sail to far away ports in one circuit. Due to the need for faster transportation, they developed a system in which merchants would travel only part of the way, and would take them to the final destination. This allowed merchants to travel less distances, and transport goods more frequently. Also, originally there was trade only between a few states, but because of the expansion of trade, more groups, such as Arabia, China, Africa, and the Middle East, began to participate. One thing that had always remained the same, however, was that India was a major participant in these exchanges.…

    The makers of cotton and iron goods have been very much interested in imperialism. Banks make loans to colonies and backward countries for building railways and steamship lines. They also make loans to colonial plantation owners, importers, and exporters. Military and naval leaders believe strongly in extending the white man’s rule over the ‘inferior races,’ to this company may be added another element, the missionary. Missionaries went forth to preach a kingdom beyond this world (Document 2). For an example, there was a lot of extent of colonialism. The largest in area in square miles is France with 212,600; the smallest is Belgium with 11,800. The largest in population is Germany with 67,500,00, the smallest Belgium with 8,300,000. The largest in area of colonies is Great Britain with 13,100,000; the smallest Netherlands 790,000.

    Since the 15th century, Europeans have been exploring the world, colonizing new lands, and interacting with the people of these new lands. These interactions were caused mostly by the economic motivations of Europeans, as these places often provided Europe with valuable goods. Throughout this period of interaction, European views of foreigners changed from those of respect and tolerance in the late 18th century to those of complete superiority and dominance in the early 20th century. This change was brought on by the shift from the romantic beliefs in individualism and civil rights to the imperialist beliefs in nationalism and social darwinism.…

    Imperialism can be defined simply as the domination or control of one country over another. This action or attitude of dominating and controlling foreign peoples has, and always will be a hot topic for debate. Two men from different cultural backgrounds, but from around the same time period, give speeches in which they oppose the anti-imperialist views of their time. In July of 1883, Jules Ferry of France, expressed his imperialistic views to the French Chamber of Deputies, and in February of 1899, Theodore Roosevelt expressed his views to the U.S. Senate in his Chicago speech, “The Strenuous Life.” Although Ferry and Roosevelt were on the same side of the argument their justifications for imperialism…

    During the Age of Imperialism, the forced growth of cash crops in colonized countries hurt native populations because it led to inadequate food supplies in colonised countries and increased death from armed conflict and from famines.Cash crops, or harvests without nutritious value, were needed to produce materials in colonized countries during a period of manufacturing development called the Industrial Revolution. Industrialized countries relied on massive quantities of cash crops like cotton, indigo and opium to produce factory-made goods, in consequence, they often sought resources and labor overseas, where both were more affordable and in greater abundance, by monopolizing other countries through colonisation. However, when native groups in colonised countries were…

    Suppose a stranger your home and demand that from now on you go by their rules and do as they say, most people would consider this absurd and do something about it. This is pretty much the situation that the United States put the citizens of the Philippines in the year of 1898. Imperialistic actions by the United States against the Philippines caused turmoil within the United States because the morals of the country were in question regarding the actions taking place and the beliefs stated in the Declaration of Independence. Anti-Imperialist League did not agree with the United States taking control over Philippine citizens and disregarding the fact that these citizens deserved respect. The Benevolent Assimilation Proclamation established by President McKinley was arguably unjust and impractical. Securing two naval bases to set up a means to develop commerce seems acceptable until it is put up against denying the Filipinos their sovereignty.…

    WWI was a turning point in European history, and I’m sure you've heard of WWI; but do not know the incidents that happened prior to the war. Europe’s new countries that did not build empires were coming in conflict with countries that had built immense empires, like Britain. The new Imperialism of the nineteenth century is a sure part in the cause of World War I. In Europe things were starting to escalate to gain as much territory as possible. Countries like Britain who were in control of empires for years were getting challenged by new countries like Germany. Wars in the Balkans caused disputes between Germany and the Russians, so other countries were involved other than just Germany. The Moroccan Crisis played a large role as well, it led Europe tremendously close to a Continental War.…
