The phase that came to define the idea that whites should help civilize nonwhites is often referred to as the "White Man's Burden." This concept, popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, suggested that it was the moral obligation of Western powers to bring civilization, education, and Christianity to "lesser" cultures. It was rooted in colonialism and Imperialism, reflecting a paternalistic and ethnocentric view that justified the domination and exploitation of nonwhite populations.
