"i thinks it was me cack" this isn't even a good answer!

The "Rise of the New Imperialism" era overlaps with the Pax Britannica period (1815-

1870). The American Revolution and the collapse of the Spanish empire in the New

World in the early 1810-20s, following the revolutions in the viceroyalties of New Spain,

New Granada, Peru and the Río de la Plata ended the first era of European empire.

Especially in the United Kingdom (UK), these revolutions helped show the deficiencies

of mercantilism, the doctrine of economic competition for finite wealth which had

supported earlier imperial expansion. The 1846 repeal of the Corn Laws marked the

adoption of free trade by the UK. As the 'workshop of the world', the United Kingdom

was even supplying a large share of the manufactured goods consumed by such

nations as Germany, France, Belgium and the United States. The Pax Britannica era

also saw the enforced opening of key markets to European, particularly British,

commerce: Turkey and Egypt in 1838, Persia in 1841, China in 1842 with the First

Opium War, and Japan in 1858 leading to the Meiji period.

Can you describe social issues during the imperialism time if you were for and against imperialism?

Supporters of imperialism often argued that it brought civilization, education, and infrastructure to colonized regions, believing it was a moral duty to uplift "lesser" societies. They viewed social issues such as poverty and lack of education in colonized areas as justifications for their expansion. Conversely, opponents highlighted the social injustices and exploitation inherent in imperialism, pointing out the destruction of local cultures, forced labor, and the imposition of foreign governance that disregarded indigenous rights and traditions. This led to significant social unrest and resistance movements in many colonized nations.

Describe the short- and long-term effects of European imperialism on Africa following the Industrial Revolution?

Short-term effects of European imperialism on Africa included the exploitation of natural resources, the establishment of colonial administrations, and significant social disruption, as indigenous populations were often displaced or subjected to forced labor. In the long term, the legacy of imperialism has led to ongoing political instability, economic challenges, and social fragmentation, as colonial borders ignored ethnic and cultural divisions. The imposition of foreign governance and economic systems has contributed to persistent inequalities and conflicts in many African nations. Additionally, the cultural impacts of imperialism continue to shape contemporary African identities and societies.


How were Manifest Destiny and nationalism related?

Manifest Destiny was the term used to describe the idea in the United States, beginning in the 1840s, that the US was destined to expand from ocean to ocean and all of North America from north to south. It developed, in part, from a great surge of nationalism (patriotism) following the War of 1812, as the nation expanded west. Because of our economic and political superiority, and due to the rapid growth of our population, and because it was God's will, our superior civilization should take over the others on the continent.

What word does not describe imperialism?
