Imperialism

The United Kingdom colonized Sudan in the 1800s. Sudan became an independent nation in 1956. However, there has been a great deal of internal turmoil in Sudan since its independence.

They accepted that we had to push out people who were standing in our way.

Cecil Rhodes argued that in order to save the 40,000,000 inhabitants of the United Kingdom from a bloody civil war, the colonial statesmen must aquire new lands to settle the surplus population.

Because we are the only ones big enough and strong enough to save the helpless from the world's bullies. We are expected to save those who can't save themselves. If we don't we are heartless. When we do we are imperialistic. It's hard to save a planet single handedly and make everyone happy at the sametime. But who else is going to do something? The French?

When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, all the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

Due to the extremely low population for such territorial extension (estimated at 12 million during 1824), Mexico relaxed its immigration policies, thus allowing American settlers to help populate the northern territories.

Latin America was commercially dominated by the united states. Similarly, China's economy was controlled by Japan and other countries. (APEX)

The industrialization of less-developed nations.

Each nation and people rises and falls as their culture proves its inherent worth or lack thereof. This proven by the cultural, political, and military expansion of the dominant societies and weakening and elimination of weaker societies. As a result, as the US is ascendant, it should propagate its culture and remove inadequate cultures. Only the fittest societies should survive and it is natural for superior nations to economically and politically dominate less-advanced nations.

Tobacco, from the American colonies. Gold, silver, spices and slaves from most of the other ones in Africa and India.

Well it literally brought a near end to it but not quite. It was not till just after World War II that Colonialism died with a spatter. After World War I the Ottomans and Austrian-Hungarians and Russians all lost their empires. Only the British survived as an empire along with France but it was not a Monarchy anymore. The middle east in particular was one region that was MAJORLY effected by this war. it saw the break up of the Ottomans and the Middle East divided between France and Britain as colonies for themselves after they had promised self rule via Lawrence of Arabia. The allies lied to the largely Shiite communities wanting to rebel from the Ottoman turks. Turkey and Iran were two lucky regions that did NOT get split up by the Allies as Syria and Iraq were.

Yes.

They had limited farmland, and with a burgeoning population which even endless internal wars could not control, they sent their surplus people by ship to sieze new land and establish their own city-states, resulting in over 2,000 Greek cities around the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

Imperialism was successful throughout history because leaders were able to maintain absolute control over their people. It was used extensively by the British, Russia, and early Germanic people.

The event that helped the English start colonies in North America would be that the English had faced setbacks like those on Roanoke Island ,but they still wanted to build colonies in North America.
