Benefits Of Imperialism In China
Being an educated european citizen, I feel that I should express my support for Imperialism. Since China was overflowing with unexploited natural resources and the government wasn't very strong in the first place, this made it easy for neighboring colonies and imperialists to take control. Though this may seem frightening for the citizens of China, they have yet to see the great things to come. China in turn will become a more cultured enviornment and it's growth will be astonishing! This won't only benefit China, but the country that gains control as well. Thats more land and more opprotunities for industrial growth. Hello! More jobs and a wealthier economy! I think Imperialism is a wonderful thing because it's a win-win

For half a decade, Stanley traveled the Congo setting up posts, building roads, and persuading chiefs─practically all being illiterate─to sign treaties with Leopold. The treaties, some of which doctored to Leopold’s benefit, were then put to use by the Belgian monarch (Britannica).

    I believe that becoming an imperial power was good. It gave us territories in foreign countries. I believe this was a good move because, it provided you a new market for goods. It gave you land for natural resources. It gave you grounds to farm. There were many good things that this new land would provide. It would provide you with materials that the mother country did not currently have. I believe that the good outweighs the…

    I do not think that imperialism is beneficial to China. Firstly, Britain forced China to consent to opium, as payment for their goods because gold and silver were rare. Though, when China refused, it triggered the first Opium War. Then, when Britain conquered the war, China ended up using the opium as payment anyways. The opium eventually caused the Chinese people to become addicted, and the addiction became an epidemic. This shows that imperialism caused terrible wars, drug addictions, and even rebellion. Simply, imperialism wasn’t helpful at…

    Imperialism is when one country dominates the cultural, economic, and political life of a nation weaker than itself. In the 19th century, Europe was the nation that was dominating both China and Africa. There were quite a few similarities in the way that European imperialism was changing these nations. One important similarity was that both the nations had resisted against British imperialism at one point. However, despite the fact that both these events occurred at the same time, by the same nations, there were quite a few differences as well. One of the main differences due to the impact of Imperialism in China and Africa was that China had a revolution where as Africa did not. Another difference was that China was harder to conquer due to geography and the people who lived there.…

The impacts extended to all corners of the world including China, the Ottoman Empire, and Japan and the effects were very prevalent. The impact of imperialism on China included the creation of unequal treaties, the population’s introduction to opium, China’s power shift, and the beginnings of manufacturing.

    Imperialism is the policy of extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, new imperialism was spreading all over and was a progressive force for both the oppressors and the oppressed when it came to stereotypes and economic success.

    At the turn of the century, imperialism was a proper and legitimate policy for the United States of America to assume. The economy in the United States flourished as imperialism continued to expand. The United States was also equipped with the top military forces in the entire world, making it easy for them to take over other countries. The U.S also believed imperialism was going hand-in-hand with the idea of Manifest Destiny. Not only did imperialism help the U.S thrive economically, but it helped the entire world thrive.…

    Chinese civilizations were fundamentally altered by European imperialism because of China’s stubborn ways of not willing to trade with the West. Between the 1600s and the 1900s, China faced a terrible period of struggle. During 1644, the Manchus, which are from Mongolia, conquered China and started the Qing dynasty which began the series of struggle throughout China. While this was occurring China's population started to increase. In the late 1700s to the 1800s, China faced great internal strains due to an expanding population that they were unable to feed because they did not have a surplus of food.

    Imperialism was beneficial to our humanity. Today, we see strong countries that were once imperialized topping our GDP rankings. Imperialism should not be permanent. After witnessing many countries in Latin America and Africa break away from their European colonizers, I believe that imperialism should secede when a strong national government can be established. Imperialism has awakened many foreign lands and it has benefited them doing to in so many ways. While parts of imperialism were unspeakable, it has built our human race and has benefitted…

    Mark Twain: Imperialism is superfluous and it will never bring greatness to America. The United States of America was founded on freedom and equality. Imperialism goes against what our nation was founded upon. It would be completely hypocritical to control other people when we live in a country that believes in democracy. In case you forgot Mr. Roosevelt, democracy is a form of government where the citizens exercise power together.…
