Old Roman cities?

The cities or towns that the Romans built were planned based upon the military camp or "castra". The town was a basic rectangle with walls and with streets organized in grid to form various quarters or neighborhoods. Two main roads crossed the entire town, from wall to wall and at their intersection was the town's forum while four main gates were placed at their ends. Remember that these were the towns that the Romans built. Towns that the Romans took over such a Pompeii were different.

What country colonized indochina?

This is a question that is answered differently depending on political orientation.

According to the Vietnamese, the first colonizers of Vietnam were the Chinese who attempted to integrate Vietnam into China at several points over the last 2000 years. (Of course, the Chinese argue that Vietnam was a province of China that managed to break away from Chinese control in fits and starts.)

Outside of Vietnam, especially in the West, the colonization of Indochina (which included Vietnam) under the French is considered the first colonization of Vietnam. They disqualify the Chinese invasions either because the Chinese Occupation was distinct from colonization as it would be practiced in the Imperialist Period or because of the Euro-centric idea that only Western countries can colonize.

What year was Ireland colonized?

The Vikings invaded of the 9th century and established trading towns (such as Dublin). The Anglo-Normans invaded and colonized in 1169 and re-organized governmental and religious systems, but their influence had for the most part been confined to a narrow strip on the east coast known as the Pale. Beyond the Pale Irish language, laws and customs prevailed and the Norman colonists were assimilated. The English colonized Ireland in the late 16th century, and during the 17th century planted settlers and split Irish society between an English-speaking landed gentry and the local Irish-speaking, landless or nearly landless peasantry.

What is a modern instance of imperialism?

it refers to any situation,when you have the tendency;to push a good idea;far beyond.That which it was originally intended

There are many examples of modern imperialism. To start with, America having over 700 military bases around the world is one example. Other examples include the Iraqi, and Afgan invasion. Imperialism is also facilitated by causing chaos in certain parts of the world, such as supporting Israel to destabilise the middle east, making it easier for the west to extract oil from the region. Since countries like Britain, and France no longer take over and occupy foreign countries, what they do now is support regimes that will do their dirty work for them. For example, if a country like Venezuela who has a lot of oil is led by a left wing socialist, worker friendly regime, then what western countries will try to do is find right wing groups within the country and try to get them to over throw the democratically, popular government. They use methods such as coup de tats, death squads, and assasinations. This has not been successful in Venezuela, but has worked in many countries throughout the world, such as Indonesia, and Colombia. Once the capitalist dictatorship is set in place, then the western corporations can go in and exploit the country for all that it's worth. One recent example of imperialism was shortly after the Haiti earthquake, when U.S. troops pretended to enter Haiti for disaster relief purposes, when in fact its true intentions was an imperialist occupation. Why Haiti you ask? Haiti is located directly in front of Venezuela, an oil rich country, making Haiti a very strategic point for an invasion of Venezuela.

What was Lenin theory of imperialism?

"If it was necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism," Lenin wrote. So as competition on the national level was reduced through mergers, bankruptcies and the tendency toward monopoly, it became increasingly ferocious internationally. Business required the organized power and resources of the state to secure their interests.

What are forms of imperialism?

Answer

Webster defines imperialism as the policy or practice of forming and maintaining an empire and thereby controlling the raw materials and markets of that empire. A significant step in the formation of this empire is the establishment of colonies. The colonies, supported by military force, are then used to take raw material from the colonial soils and to force the native peoples to buy finished goods from the imperial homeland at inflated prices. This impoverishes the natives.

I suppose you can say that there are degrees of imperialism, but no serious historian can say that England was not the most successful imperial nation in human history. At one time their empire - created specifically to control markets and raw materials - included one quarter of the globe's people and surface.

Im modern times - since 1800 - France and Russia also have maintained large empires. Either, at their peak was about half the size or less of the English Empire.

After these three you find many nations with significant empires - some lasting longer than others, but all of shorter duration than those first three. The USA, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Turkey all maintained colonies for markets and raw materials. None came anywhere near the size of the first three I've mentioned.

By necessity all such empires are held together by force. The British demonstrated this many times with myriad wars of conquest. Just a few of note.....1) multiple wars with Spain and France to seize their coloniesin the 1700s and 1800s.2) war with Japan in WWII in order to reestablish colonies lost to the Nipponese such as Hong Kong, and to prevent possible uprisings in their colony of India.3) Africa - Bloody wars with the native Zulus and the Boers ( a competing colonial vestiage of Holland )

France too fought long bloody wars in Indochina and Algeria, among other places, as they tried to hang on to their empire. Otherwise the Italians fought natives in Ethiopia, the Germans in SW Africa, and the Americans in the Phillipines. War against the natives is a virtual prerequisite of establishing a colonial/imperial empire.

The Russian empire was not based on naval strength so their empire was contiguous geographically. They colonized Siberia, the Baltic states, Finland and Islamic areas of central Asia. Ultimately they even penetrated deep into central Europe.

America's overseas empire was mainly an attempt to secure markets and military bases in the Far East in order to facilitate trade with China - China being the only available market for trade, all others being part of other empires and thus closed to free trade. Ultimately this brought the USA into conflict with the Japanese who also desired to control the Chinese trade.

Germany and Italy were much too late to the empire building schemes to have much of an overseas colonial empire. Instead Germany in particular sought to extend her influence via her neighbors, this bringing her into direct conflict with the surrounding great empires of Russia, France and Britain. Germany tried various strategies to break this stranglehold but was ultimately ground down and destroyed as to imperial ambitions. I suppose Germany can gather some solace in knowing that their efforts were successful in destroying the empires of Britain and France, and to some extent that of Russia.

Technically, Russia grew in power after beating Germany in WWII, but the demographics were already shifting in that nation. The Russian people were so bloodied by WWII that they soon (by 1980) became a minority within their empire. At that point the end was near and the Russian/Soviet empire collapsed swiftly due to pressures from the USA under the leadership of President Reagan.

Today there really are not any remaining imperial empires. To some extent the USA is imperialistic in that they project power with regularity into various parts of the globe. This power projection is always coated with a veneer of concern for human rights but in reality is used to maintain American access to markets and raw materials. The major difference with this situation and that of the British, French, etal. is that the USA has been willing to pay an honest price for those market and materials. The British, French, etal. basically used their empires as a license to steal from the native peoples.

How was imperialism a violation of the Declaration of Independence?

What are the racist roots of American imperialism?

Simple economical reason of American imperialism is continuation of energy flow to western world. But historical and sociological reasons are much more complex.

First reason can be deducted as the physcological sense of separation from the rest of the world, and the xenophobia that comes with it. This kind of agrresive xenophobia can be seen in island nations, or in the communities which were located in isolated areas. This kind of comunities live an isolated, and introvasive life for a time and when the troubles of the outside world reach to to their shores in a degree that can not be ignored, an explosively aggresive reaction of invasion takes its place. Japan after the Meiji revolution, Vikings, Britain are some examples. USA which enjoyed a somewhat isolated existence till the The World Wars suddenly became a superpower and a major player in international politics. History asfter the 9-11 attacks also can be seen as such an explosive reaction.

Second reason is obviously the capitalism. As the only truly capitalist system in the world(even British Empire had a strict sense of government over the market), America needs to find raw materials, cheap labour and welcoming markets with friendly governments for its products. Fastest and most efficient way to achieve that is through imperialism. İt can even be said that capitalism and imperialism are inseparable.

Third reason is the vacuum of power in the international arena after the WW1. Four greatest empires of the Old World (Habsburgs German, British, Ottoman Turkish and Tsarist Russian) lost most of their power after the war. While three of them were perished completely, British empire lost incredible amount of political and military power in this war and started to shrink. By the time of WWII there were almost no superpower int he world. USA, with its young power filled that void by itself. But there was a problem. Most of this former empires were found near the historical power center of the world, roughly around the Medeterannian era( lands of the first superpower Roman Empire) and USA was far far away. This can be seen as the reason why America aggresively tries to locate itself politically in Middle East. Because of its location, Imperialism is the only tool for USA to achieve that.

What is a cause of colonization?

The colonization of Africa was part of a worldwide drive to provide new resources and markets for Europe, usually at the expense of less-developed civilizations. Countries that did not initially seek colonies were drawn into the process, to maintain economic parity with the countries that did. Africa in particular offered manpower in the form of slaves, or African natives working in their homelands under colonial occupation.
