The Martians represent imperialistic nations, specifically Great Britain,
while the humans stand for the countries that are taken over. The
Martians move through the city of London doing whatever they wish,
easily holding off any resistance they encounter. This is symbolic of the
imperialistic nations' invading other countries and imposing their will on
the countries' economies, cultures, and landscapes. The Martians are
able to do so because of their superior technology and weaponry,
much like that of Great Britain over the countries in South Asia and
Africa. H.G. Wells hoped that his British audience would question their
country's right to disturb the well-being of another culture for any
reason. In the end, the Martians fall prey to the Earth's natural
elements, possibly serving as a warning to imperialist leaders.
