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.
