Judgement On Imperialism In The United States
Judgement on Imperialism Imperialism is the belief that a nation must expand in order to become stronger, whether it involves the use of military or diplomatic force. Most Imperial nations colonized in other nations that they believed were “savage” or “uncivilized”. The Imperial nations did not care or need consent of the nations of which they were colonizing, they had done this by force. Those being colonized weren’t strong or advanced enough to prevent their colonization.

Their ideals were to educate those who lacked education, introduce or convert them to the Colonizing Nation’s religion, and to make the colony’s society more advanced. Though these are great ideals, some colonized nations already had what the Imperialist Nations had to offer.
Imperialism was a competition for those who were involved in it. The one’s with the most land, resources, and the best army were the ones who were considered the strongest. Germany believed that in participation in Imperialism, their military will strengthen and ,in doing so, protect their nation (Task 39).

Filipino rebellions occurred which caused the Filipino-American war
