Imperialism

Three reasons why imperialism helped the world

  • Most superpowers brought modern technologies and introduced industrialization in smaller countries, boosting their economies

  • New transportation systems such as railroads, boats and airplanes were introduced

  • New languages, religions and a new way of life were introduced


  • Three reasons why imperialism hurt the world

  • Labor was discriminated against and forced many countries into slavery restricting their basic rights

  • Many valuable natural resources were fought over between countries, resulting in political problems

  • New religions were forced upon others and native beliefs were forgotten
