The "white man's burden" was a concept popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, suggesting that Western nations had a moral obligation to civilize and uplift non-Western peoples. It was often used to justify Imperialism and colonization, portraying Western cultures as superior and depicting colonized societies as needing guidance and governance. This ideology was rooted in racial and cultural superiority, suggesting that Western intervention was necessary for the progress of supposedly "backward" societies. Ultimately, it reflected and perpetuated colonial attitudes and disregard for the autonomy of colonized peoples.
