    Trade routes used by Indian Ocean mariners were important to the region's commerce. They needed to find faster, easier routes to the destination. At first, many merchants would have to sail to far away ports in one circuit. Due to the need for faster transportation, they developed a system in which merchants would travel only part of the way, and would take them to the final destination. This allowed merchants to travel less distances, and transport goods more frequently. Also, originally there was trade only between a few states, but because of the expansion of trade, more groups, such as Arabia, China, Africa, and the Middle East, began to participate. One thing that had always remained the same, however, was that India was a major participant in these exchanges.…

    Since the 15th century, Europeans have been exploring the world, colonizing new lands, and interacting with the people of these new lands. These interactions were caused mostly by the economic motivations of Europeans, as these places often provided Europe with valuable goods. Throughout this period of interaction, European views of foreigners changed from those of respect and tolerance in the late 18th century to those of complete superiority and dominance in the early 20th century. This change was brought on by the shift from the romantic beliefs in individualism and civil rights to the imperialist beliefs in nationalism and social darwinism.…

    During the Age of Imperialism, the forced growth of cash crops in colonized countries hurt native populations because it led to inadequate food supplies in colonised countries and increased death from armed conflict and from famines.Cash crops, or harvests without nutritious value, were needed to produce materials in colonized countries during a period of manufacturing development called the Industrial Revolution. Industrialized countries relied on massive quantities of cash crops like cotton, indigo and opium to produce factory-made goods, in consequence, they often sought resources and labor overseas, where both were more affordable and in greater abundance, by monopolizing other countries through colonisation. However, when native groups in colonised countries were…

    Imperialism is the policy of extending a country’s power and influence through diplomacy or military force. This policy was practiced by the Western Europeans throughout the 18th and 19th century. When they were colonizing what they classified as weaker nations, the colonizer and the colonized viewed the experience of imperialism in very different ways. The conquered nations of Africa, India, Middle East, and Indochina experienced the takeover by the Europeans but the effect of this was on the negative side. Based on the colonized countries, the Age of Imperialism did not improve the human condition.…

    Suppose a stranger your home and demand that from now on you go by their rules and do as they say, most people would consider this absurd and do something about it. This is pretty much the situation that the United States put the citizens of the Philippines in the year of 1898. Imperialistic actions by the United States against the Philippines caused turmoil within the United States because the morals of the country were in question regarding the actions taking place and the beliefs stated in the Declaration of Independence. Anti-Imperialist League did not agree with the United States taking control over Philippine citizens and disregarding the fact that these citizens deserved respect. The Benevolent Assimilation Proclamation established by President McKinley was arguably unjust and impractical. Securing two naval bases to set up a means to develop commerce seems acceptable until it is put up against denying the Filipinos their sovereignty.…

    Since the American Revolution, American Imperialism has been a practice exercised by The United States. America, one of the world’s most powerful countries, has sought to expand, control, and influence nations and people that are not strong enough to retaliate successfully. Once America set its sights on what it wanted to govern, own, seize, or destroy, it was usually victorious. Devine Manifestation was the belief that God sent them fourth to possess the land for expansion and growth; as with the first settlers that came to America decided to make America their own. They fought with the indigenous people, took their land by killing them, or made them slaves. Acts of greed and selfishness led to America’s first taste of imperialism. During the 19th Century, America embraced the foreign policy “The Monroe Doctrine.” This doctrine kept countries such as the Philippines, Hawaii, and the Caribbean under U.S protection. The Monroe Doctrine allowing the counties to self-govern but gave America the opportunity to influence and expand its ideas, concepts, and values throughout the land. America still perpetuated the act of imperialism in the Caribbean, Asia, and Latin America by influencing the land with its commerce, products, religion, free enterprise, and democracy. America felt the need to exert its influences beyond its borders and harbored dreams of a global empire. Its rationale included military, economic, and religious arguments. Some of the major events of this time included a rebuilding of the navy, the acquisition of Midway and Alaska, the Spanish-American War, and annexation of the Philippines.…

    WWI was a turning point in European history, and I’m sure you've heard of WWI; but do not know the incidents that happened prior to the war. Europe’s new countries that did not build empires were coming in conflict with countries that had built immense empires, like Britain. The new Imperialism of the nineteenth century is a sure part in the cause of World War I. In Europe things were starting to escalate to gain as much territory as possible. Countries like Britain who were in control of empires for years were getting challenged by new countries like Germany. Wars in the Balkans caused disputes between Germany and the Russians, so other countries were involved other than just Germany. The Moroccan Crisis played a large role as well, it led Europe tremendously close to a Continental War.…
