The Case for Imperialism There is little if any doubt that modern society has condemned Imperialism and its various devices. I will gladly concede the fact the past implementations of Imperialism have been‚ in many ways‚ terrible with consequences that have wounded humanity deeply.

Africa of course‚ would be colonized by the many Europeans. However‚ a lot of African groups/civilizations would start too. They would start and older ones would be expanded.

But he says that our customs are bad; and our own brothers who have taken up his religion also say that our customs are bad. How do you think we can fight

Colonialism and the imperialistic mindset are common themes in the study of history‚ whether the peoples‚ cultures‚ and nations being studied were the colonizers or the colonized. The classic colonial strategy has always been seen as using and draining the colonized for markets and resources in order to sustain the largest profit margin‚ but an alternative theory‚ dubbed Settler-Colonial Theory‚ has more recently been expounded upon to provide a different point of view. This second take on colonialism

The intention of colonialism‚ though cloaked with moral justification‚ was clear from the beginning: in order to assert oneself as a dominant power‚ a country must steal‚ ravish and exploit the land‚ people and culture belonging to another. The belief that taking of foreign land was justified because a particular country had the power to do so with little genuine resistance was so prevalent during the late Nineteenth‚ early Twentieth centuries that it significantly‚ and tragically affected those
