Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden," published in 1899, emerged during the height of Imperialism when Western powers were expanding their empires, particularly in Africa and Asia. The poem urges the United States to take on the "burden" of colonizing and civilizing non-Western peoples, reflecting the paternalistic attitudes of the time that justified imperialism as a moral obligation. It encapsulates the belief that Western nations had a duty to bring progress and enlightenment to so-called "backward" societies, a notion that has since been critiqued for its ethnocentrism and justification of colonial exploitation.
