From: Imperialism and World Politics, Parker T. Moore, 1926 To begin with, there are the exporters and manufacturers of certain goods used in the colonies. The makers of cotton and iron goods have been very much interested in imperialism. Their business interests demand that colonial markets should be opened and developed and that foreign competitors should be shut out. Such aims require political control and imperialism.

It had more negative effects than positive effects due to its domination to other nations. Documents 1 and 5 show how imperialism should work over politics and their benefits over the colonies while documents 2 and 7 show some beneficial effects of imperialism for the colonies.

It is argued that the British “established the framework for India’s justice system, civil service, loyal army, and efficient police force” (Lalvani). However, the people governing India were, for the most part, British. “Of 960 civil offices… 900 are occupied by Englishmen” (Document 2). This means that the Indians had nearly no say or influence in how they were governed, or what laws and rules were established. The British used the systems they put in place for their own personal gain. They would use their position to impose higher tax rates, and then leave once their time was up or had the money they wanted. In regards to the army, some say “the Indian army was formed and its top officers were trained in new military academies” (Lalvani). Sure, they were trained in new academies but the British-trained officers were used to control and restrict the Indians, such as the Amritsar massacre (Gandhi). As shown with the Amritsar massacre, they were used to enforce skewed justice based on the British’s bias. The army mowed down hundreds of peaceful protestors, because a law was established to ban their protests. They also generally assaulted and harassed Indians, and punishment for crimes were significantly worse for Indians.
