    In the late 1800’s/early 1900’s, the Europeans were of the most powerful nations in the world; the British, French, and Dutch. They had industries and resources, among other things, such as a strong military, guns, and things other nations did not have. Things that made it easier to conquer other nations. Europeans established overseas colonies in places like Asia, India, and Africa. They established them to get to their resources and also to have a place to sell their goods. Britain wanted India so they could sell their goods there and take India’s cotton. They thought if they didn’t take advantage of the opportunity, someone else would. Throughout the 1800’s, the United Stated expanded westward. Mexicans and Native Americans lost their land as a result. In most ways, imperialism was justified.…

    A controversial aspect of imperialism is the imperial power’s justification of such actions. Those seeking to justify imperialism pointed out that technological and economic efficiency were often improved in territories subjected to imperialism, through the building of roads and other infrastructure and the introduction of many innovations. A common argument against this is that such improvements would have occurred anyway if the conquered territory were left to its own devices, and as an imperial territory, the benefits of these improvements went to the imperial power rather than the territory itself…

    Imperialism has caused many different outcomes in the world; some of which were positive, and some were negative. In this particular source, Ludwig von Mises is stating that imperialism has caused a trail of damaging events, and that these events have been so harmful that they must never be forgotten nor justified. As a result of this, the question being raised is whether the acts that came from imperialism were beneficial and important to society or not. Imperialism to Mises was a negative form of globalization. He is explaining the detrimental effects on groups, all the prosperous land that went to waste, and senseless fighting that occurred between groups. Based on this, Ludwig's perspective on imperialism is that it caused many futile circumstances,…

    Starting around 1870 imperialism amplified and is a major cause of World War I due to the actions and emotions associated with imperialism. Imperialism was the practice of one or more nations trying to control another nation or people, thus reducing or even eliminating their sovereignty. While not all the Great Powers and Serbia hold equal blame, each country felt or stimulated imperialism from 1870 until 1914. To start, England believed that the sun never sets on her empire, thus she believed in the need to continually keep building geographically and militarily. British forces were bold, innovative, and caused irritation and “international friction” (Remak 30). In 1898, English and French forces collided in pursuit of Sudan. Sudan had been held by locals, however, under the rules of European imperialism the land should be controlled by, “...the fittest conqueror” (30).…

    Militarism is the aggressive preparation for war. European states wanted to build up their military, but empire neighbors were reluctant to sit by and watch the build up of a military so neighboring empires feel forced to also build up their military. In the History book it states, “European armies doubled in size between 1890 and 1914.” From this I can suppose that, Europe wanted to make their army stronger than any other army, so they could defend themselves when they went to war. I can compare this to when Hitler created a really strong army that nobody could defeat. The author wrote, “Influential military leaders drew up vast and complex plans for quickly mobilizing millions of soldiers and enormous quantities of supplies in the event of war.” This demonstrates that they wanted to be ready just incase they were attacked. This shows that they wanted to be prepared just in case they were attacked by other nations.…
