Imperialism

After WW2 France reoccupied Vietnam which had been largely liberated from Japanese rule by the Viet Minh, led by Ho Chi Minh. After the defeat of the French in 1954 the U.S. became increasingly interested in Vietnam and, in the longer term, involved.

depending on how you define your question there could be more than one answer. the answer i think you would be looking for is the colonization of America and in that case it can either be at plymoth rock (in new England) where all the Quakers and john smith and whoever landed from England.... of it could be somewhere in Alaska via a land bridge by ancient peoples that eventually became Indians.

The effect of British Colonial was that on the one hand it changed the Traditions and Political Structures within the Area called Nigeria forever, on the other it dragged a feudal area into the 20th Century.

Prior to the British entering into Nigeria, Amelioration was comman place and encouraged. Slavery was rife. Especially in the north under the Muslim states. Another major problem was that modern education was non existent. While the Muslim states were relative advanced in their education and political systems these were limited in terms of bring about a Nation state the size of modern Nigeria. On the other Hand theYoruba civilization was at an exhausted phase having under when a number of major wars especially against the Fulani. This was undermining the Power in Ife Ife,

The British brought generally peace and provided a relatively feudal mass modern facilities in terms of Education in the West & East, not so in the North as Sir Fredrick Lugards promise to the Sultan of Sokoto was upheld and minial Western influence was imported up north to the Hausa and Fulani states, this was to cause major problems when Nigeria was to be forced to be independent in the 1960's, and resulted in the British rigging the Elections in favour of the North, under the fear that the Southern Nigerian States would subsume it's Northern counterpart.

The rigging of the Elections and the Cameroon Mandate and split with Nigeria, embolderned the Igbo's to seeks like wise and separate causing the Biafrian War which ironically ended up Uniting Nigeria rather than dividing it.

The British brought Nigeria into direct contact with the Global Market Place for it's products as during it's brief 60 years of Colonial History, Nigeria was generally self sufficient. it was run by less than 2,000 British Colonial officers who relied on the co-operations of the existing Traditional Leaders. This was known as In Direct rule a system developed by Sir Fredrick Lugard and expounded upon by Mr Cameron in the 1920's\30's after the Aba Womens Riots. This policy had the dual effect of moderating Traditional leaders powers yet retaining them. However once Britain became bankrupt after the Second World War and was forced by the Americans to give up it's Empire in return for Loans and a more pivitol role in Europe. The nascent self governing political parties that Britain encouraged sought to undermine the Traditional Leaders and brand them as "Colaborators" of the old regime. This allowed young and Western Educated Polical Leaders like Zik or Awolo (spelling!) to ursup the Traditional Leaders by taking advantage of the Zeitgeist namely the handing over of Soveriegnty back to the Nigerian Peoples by the British.

British Colonialism installed in Nigeria the foundations of a Modern, if not troubled democracy, with Parlimental Institutions, Legal Institutions Education, the Christain Missionary School ( CMS) played a great part in reducing Africian supertitious beliefs that hindered alot of progress.

This depends entirely on when and what area of the world we are talking about. The English Channel (la Manche) forms a physical boundary between English and French territory in Europe after the Hundred Years War with England being north of the channel and France being south of it. In North America, prior to the Seven Years War, the Appalachian Mountains separated the English colonies and the French colonies with the English colonies being to the east of the mountains and the French colonies to the west. French Indochina and British Burma were separated by the Mekong River with British Burma lying to west and French Indochina lying to the east.

Americans were embracing the Manifest Destiny viewpoint, and believed it was their duty to spread their democracy, and way of life throughout the world. The remarkable history of the country created a sense of infallibility that naturally fit with the practice of imperialism.

Just as with the rest of the African continent, it was colonized by the European powers for the purpose of empire (money, expansion of global influence, to "civilize" the "dark continent"). I believe Rwanda's cash crop was coffee... Germany ruled Rwanda until WW1, then the territory was handed over to Belgium, then independence from Belgium in the 1960s.

Japan had gained military, political, and economic strength.

Of the former Spanish colonies acquired by the United States in 1898, only CUBA was given independence, which was declared in 1902.

It depends on your point of view: The truth, I suspect, was that it's a bit of both. But then it's easy for me to say the British were not the worst Imperial masters in history: I've never had a foreigh soldier telling me what to do in my own country !

Imperialism, led to wars between other European nations. Imperialism in Asia became a negative force in that it released its liberal ideas on the homefront in pursuit to influence colonies away.

I'm assuming you mean what NON-native country. The Dutch were there there. The Portugese were there. The British were there, and stayed the longest. Their rule wasn't necessarily bad, but when they left they really screwed it up and millions of people died just because of their religion. Of course, before them the Greeks were there, the Mongols, the Turks, etc etc etc.

Imperialism split the country apart. (Imperialists/Anti-Imperialists) We hadn't seen this kind of separation since the Civil War. Imperialism led most to not follow the original values our fore fathers set out for us in the Declaration of Independence. We were controlling other countries instead of letting them govern themselves. (e.g. Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Guam) We overall ended up with a better economy, and became a more powerful nation. That's the best I info. I could give. :)

The British I believe.

No one country colonized Africa. Several countries divided African during the "Scramble for Africa" timeframe. Countries such as the British, Portuguese, Spain, France, Netherlands

Some reasons why America became imperialistic were:

-to spread democracy

-to build a strong navy

-to benefit the US economy

How did President Theodore Roosevelt show the imperialism?

-Roosevelt Corollary: An act which added power to the Monroe Doctrine. It basically said that the US could act as an international police. (Also known as the "Big Stick Policy"

-Building of the Panama Canal: The US Navy had a long and dangerous route in order to get from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean (troops had to go from the east coast to around the bottom tip of South America and then around again to the west coast). To solve the problem, Roosevelt found it appropriate to build a canal in the land that was then part of Columbia. Columbia agreed to grant America the land, but at the last minute backed out of their deal. Outraged, Roosevelt convinced the independence-seeking Panamanians to revolt against Colombia; they eventually gained there independence and were quick to grant the US the land to build the Panama Canal.

Nope, pencils weren't invented yet. Instead they used feathers dipped in ink.

The British did.

Foreign imperialism and internal political instability aroused the patriotic feelings of many Chinese people. Japan's presentation of the 21 Demands had the effect of unifying the angry Chinese people in the presence of a common external aggressor.

The eight reasons for imperialism are-

1. white mans burden

2. outlets for population

3. need for new markets

4. self sufficiency

5. investing surplus capital

6. nationalism

7. militarism

8. missionaries/ambassadors

Japan gained military, political, and economic strength. It then sought to eliminate the extraterritorial rights of foreigners.

Ethiopia and Liberia

---

The Italians eventually conquered Ethiopia in 1938, but this is considered part of the World War II Axis expansion and not a proper colonization. After World War II, Ethiopia became independent again.

It was a gradual process: Britain seized Cape Coast from the Dutch as early as 1664 and purchased the remaining Dutch holdings in 1871. Accra was seized in 1874 and the formerly powerful Ashante kingdom reduced to a protectorate in 1896, losing its last vestiges of self-rule after a British-provoked rebellion in 1900.
