Explain how the war of the worlds is an allegory for imperialism?

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.

Explain why Western reforms under the Qajar shahs were not successful in saving Iran from Western imperialism?

The Western reforms under the Qajar shahs in Iran were not successful in saving the country from Western imperialism due to several reasons. Firstly, the reforms were often superficial and did not address the underlying structural issues within the Iranian society and economy. Additionally, the Qajar shahs faced significant opposition from traditional religious and political elites who resisted change. Furthermore, Western powers had already established strong economic and political footholds in Iran, making it difficult for the reforms to effectively counter Western imperialism.
