What role did Alfred T mahan of the US expansionism or imperialism?
He was a naval writer, it was his niche in life. He certainly was not a good commander of men, grounding his vessel, and other near disasters. But all army and navy officers used to have to have command time as part of their careers. Same with Clauswitz from Europe, he was a great writer of military theory, but a less than good field officer.
Military leaders are often great at one category, not both. Military categories are divided into two classes: Staff and command. Patton, Ghengis Khan, Attilla the Hun, Napoleon, were great leaders of men (they had charisma). Eisenhower, Bradley, Nimitz, Morrison, Clauswitz and Mahan made great staff officers but not gung-ho Pattons.

What is the justification for imperialism?
This is not a DingoBot case.
The main justification of the term imperialism simply is another way for a nation to expand its sphere of influence to the actual colonization or even conquest of other nations.
The primary example, but certainly not the only one, is the expansion of the city state of Rome into an empire. Ancient Roman conquests however, were not all made in the name of imperialism. An example of this was the first two wars with Carthage.
Carthage was a dominate power in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The second war with Carthage was due to Hannibal's attack on ancient Rome by moving an army from Spain over the Alps and attacking the Italian peninsula. In this case, the war was not borne from imperialist expansion. It was a war of two equals.
From ancient times to the so-called imperialism of the European nations in the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries conducted extensions of their nations' influence and reaped economic & political rewards by colonizing less developed nations such as India or Algeria.
What were the negative and positive effects of imperialism on China?
To be quite honest, there were no positive effects of China being conquered by foreign interests. True, the open door policy meant that China would trade with the world, but the Chinese didn't want to do that... ANYTHING that China was MADE TO DO DUE TO IMPERIALISM only benefited those who conquered them.
The imperialism had one positive effect on China, that was to make people of China realise the emperor and bureaucrats didn't have the ability to safeguard the land and protect their safety.
The incompetence of governance brought China defeats in battles with the imperialists and unequal treaties to its people. The door of Chinese long lasting close economy was opened by cannons. Opium flowed in and treasure flowed out, increased the burden of the nation. The imperialists scrambled for spheres of influence with each other, torn apart the once completed territory, the country was at a crisis.
Under such circumstance, people couldn't undergo suffering the oppression from both inside and outside. They rose up for their own survival, powerless but numerous. They want their fate in their own hands. At that moment, the struggling against imperialism and feudalism was begun.
There was a famous map in the link below that depicts the spheres of influence and China's political situation during the imperialists invasion. It was in cartoon form and used animal images to represent fierce intruders controlling vast areas of China whilst corrupt Chinese bureaucrats still daydreaming inland. The comments around the map means 'the situation is clear at a glance, no more words are needed'.
Neocolonialism is a term used by post-colonial critics of developed countries' involvement in the developing world. Critics of neocolonialism state that private, foreign business companies continue to exploit the resources of the states that were once colonized by an outside country.
Neocolonialism is the dominance of strong nations over weak nations, not by direct political control (as in traditional colonialism), but by economic and cultural influence.
Some people think that it is too simplistic to say that imperialism when the European empires relinquished their colonies during the few decades after the second world war. Use of the term, neocolonialism is extremely contentious because it is multifaceted and loosely used.

When did Portugal colonize most of Guinea-Bissau?
in the 15th and 16th centuries, starting in the 1440's.
To add more information here, it seems most historians cite 1446 as the year Portugal first made a settlement in what is now called Guinea-Bissau. There were conflicts between France and Portugal over this section of Africa and it can be safely said that by the middle of the 19th century, Portugal had consolidated its overall control of this territory. Perhaps not 100% but certainly the vast majority of it.
