During this time of new imperialism spreading, many stereotypes and were made and people were judged. This can be proved by documents 3,4, and 6. Document 3 is most likely made from the point of view of an English cartoonist because it biased against the African and Chinese people pulling the Englishman, saying that the lowly people pulling the man is the civilized way of doing it around there. This gives the idea that Asians and Africans were not considered civilized and were thought of to be used to cater to the needs of a superior race. Document 4 was most likely written from the point of view of an African slave and was biased against white men. He talks about white men like they were all the same and once they got involved with the imperialism they all ruined once good things. A British Imperialist in Africa biased toward the British wrote document 6. It says that the British are the best and most honorable humans in the world and that they are superior to the Africans. This gave them the stereotype that they think that they are better than everyone else. Also, from imperialism came economic success for both the oppressors and the oppressed. This can be proved by documents 1, 2, and 5. Parker T. Moore, a man studying the effects of imperialism writes document 1 and there seems to be no bias because he is just stating faces. He brings up the fact that imperialism is necessary for the economy of a certain area…
British imperialism in China and India brought very different responses, in part because of the nature of imperialism in each place. While both regions were greatly influenced by the British, in India the country was placed under the direct rule of the Queen. In China on the other hand, the "spheres of influence" were economic, and did not entail direct British rule. During the British imperial age the culture of China continued on much the same as it had before, while in India the British tried to replace the Indian culture with their own.…

The perspective presented in the source is presented as a positive view on the Age of Imperialism. The source states that many countries benefitted greatly from “the Age of Imperialism,” which is when a country creates domination over another country’s economic, political, and cultural institutions. The Age of Imperialism contributed to globalization significantly. It helped the globalization in a way that benefitted wealthier countries and took advantage of poorer countries. The source also informs us that the Europeans helped civilize the world tremendously. Civilizing is the process of bringing people to a stage of social, cultural, and moral development that is considered to be more advanced. The source explains that without this period of time, a whole lot of things would be very different. It also expresses that literature was greatly increased because of the Age of European Expansionism. The age of Imperialism was driven by trade because of the colonies set up abroad after a European power revealed their superiority over a country it was imperializing. Because of this, cheap materials were sent back to the European country. Aside to the benefits from the Age of Imperialism, there were several negative impacts because of imperialism. During the Age of Imperialism, powerful European countries took advantage of the undeveloped countries and built colonies. After setting up the colony, they benefitted from the local workers because of cheap labour. Religion was greatly affected by imperialism because the religion of the European superpowers were so dominant. Adding to the negatives is that the Age of Imperialism caused a lot of conflict. Imperialism helped colonies be viewed as a source of cheap raw materials. Imperialism directly aided to the term of mercantilism which is the policy of strictly controlling trade. But as mercantilism declined, another idea inclined. The idea to have the government control the economy and advocate…
India, throughout history, has been subject to numerous cases of persecution, subjugation, conquest and oppression. Successful conquest of India is a difficult yet lucrative investment and can easily help supplement and revitalise an economy through the trade of its bountiful natural resources. Despite India’s monetary value, the Official British policy stated there were ulterior motives for its conquest of India, such as the fulfilment of the British policy of ‘White Man’s Burden’; with the eventual aim of establishing an Indian self-government. It can however be suggested, that such seemingly sincere claims were merely fabricated as a means of providing a stable source of trade for the British economy or as a means of further imposing British imperialist dominance across Europe.…

The Impact of the 19th century imperialism on India resulted from industrialized nations seeking control of foreign territories for economic, military, political and philosophical aims; the conditions that motivated and fueled the great expansion for industrialized nations were mostly based on economic motives. Imperialism in India had many positive and negative effects on both Britain and the colony, India.…
| |The chief argument against imperialism in E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India is that it prevents personal relationships. The central question of the novel is posed at the very beginning when Mahmoud Ali and Hamidullah ask each other “whether or not it is possible to be friends with an Englishman”.[1] The answer, given by Forster himself on the last page, is “No, no yet … No, not there” (p. 322). Such friendship is made impossible, on a political level, by the existence of the British Raj.…

The British East India Company was a cause of imperialism. The British looted Indians and treated them with less value, while Gandhi tried respecting the Englishmen because he thought non-violence was the way to achieve their country and freedom back. But according to Gandhi the British did everything in India, “I tried to live like an Indian, but it’s the British who decided what we do, what we buy, and what we sell.” (Gandhi.). The meaning of this was that Britain barged in their territory disrespectfully. British are not letting Indians produce own goods or wear and make Indian clothes. They had to buy the British goods and clothes. This put many Indian Industries out of business. “It was comprised of individual territories controlled by different rulers. The EIC brokered contracts with these rulers and gradually gained influence over the subcontinent,” (McGrath.). The Dutch already took control of the Spice Islands so the British thought of taking over India but they were controlled in small territories and by uniting them it would be easier for the British to achieve money altogether more accurately and less stressfully. Clearly, the British East India Company was a connection to imperialism in the Indian Independence Movement.…
One of the biggest impacts of the British colonisation in India was the impact Britain had on India’s economy. In the 1800’s India was one of the richest countries in the world, it was economically more developed than Britain. Yet by the time India once again gained full control of its own country, their wealth had diminished substantially. Historians differ in determining the economic impact of Britain’s control in India. Some historians believe that the British formed a powerful force for development, but failed to achieve much due to the internal blocks in India, which included many systems that were already in place when the foreigners arrived.…
2. The landlords also were insecured and jagirs(lands) were confiscated when the taxes did not match the assigned goals. 3. The interests of India were not the first priority of the government. They came in India for economic profit, which was the main priority. The traditional industries collapsed under the pressure of industrialized fields. No measures were taken to improve the conditions of the peasants and the artisans. 4. The annexation of Indian states was followed by large scale unemployment and economic distress as a large number of court officials and other lost their means of earning. All the poets, artisans etc working under these rulers lost their jobs.…
Both the success and the organization of the nation have been uncommon, and despite the fact that the work has been carried on, recovery in a couple of bearings, completely in light of a legitimate concern for the victors, the English have tirelessly fought that have been acting truly in light of a legitimate concern for the quelled people groups. As a matter of fact, India is, and will likely remain, the excellent occurrence of the ruinous effect of unrestrained capitalism in Colonial affairs. It is essential, that the International Social-Democratic Party ought to completely comprehend what has been done, and how pernicious the makeshift achievement of a remote oppression implemented by an arrangement of islanders, whose small beginning stage and head-quarters lay a large number of miles from their vanquished belonging, has been to a populace no less than 300,000,000…
