European Colonialism

this period, the Western European nations emerged as the dominant powers who were able to conquer or colonize more than 80% of the world. Many people conceptualize this immense imperial expansion as a product of European technological innovation; nations were subdued through organized armies and advanced artillery with which native populations simply could not compete. However, while the role of technology in the advancement of colonialism is significant, the Europeans were not able to maintain

Colonialism, or imperialism, began during the 15th Century by European countries. Colonialism is when “one nation takes control of another”.

European Colonialism has been around since the late 15th century and their model for colonialism will exist for many years to come. Colonization could be considered to start as far back as the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. However, this colonization model was not near as deadly as the European model (Louis). The ancient civilizations educated, advanced, and motivated their colonies to succeed. The European model falls far short of the standard set in past years. This model for

In the era of colonialism, European authorities all cynically insisted that they acted to promote such higher commitments entitled the "white man's burden,” a vital aspect claimed to be in their national interest and of prodigious importance. Yet when these global and transnational forces increasingly usurp the power of states, in order to determine their own fiscal policies, newfangled ideologies spread, and eventually rivals spur in conflict and tragedies befall.
