Imperialism: A policy of extending a country’s power and influence through diplomacy or military force. Imperialism is one of the most ignorant things you could do in another country. British are at the top of the chain when it comes to imperialism. British imperialized many countries and regions in Africa. The one that started the force into imperialism in Africa was the Anglo-Zulu War. What started the uprising roar into the war was the dispute between the Zulus and Boers and Europeans wanted to. The king of Britain gave the king of Zulu Nation an ultimatum that he couldn’t fulfil which sent them into war. This act of the king of Britain was unfair and unnecessary. Shaka was the king of Zulu before the war with Britain. The month and day of Shaka’s birth are unknown, but he was born in the year 1787. Shaka was born to Senzangakhona kaJama, the chief of Zulu, and Nadi. When Shaka’s dad died, he took his place as the chief of Zulu in 1816. He quickly adapted to being a chief, but he was a pretty harsh one. In the biography “Shaka Zulu,” the authors wrote, “When Shaka's father died, he became the chief of Zulu… He conquered many of the surrounding chiefdoms. At one point Shaka had a well-trained army of around 40,000 soldiers. Shaka was a strong, but brutal leader. Anyone who disobeyed an order was immediately killed. He sometimes massacred a whole village in order to send a message,” (“Shaka Zulu”). This shows that Shaka meant business when it came to

The increase in wealth the Europeans experienced could not just be something that came with imperialism; it had to have had some sort of pursuit and economic gain aligned with their other goals as well. It is evident that the driving forces behind imperialism

Imperialism was a legitimate policy for the United states to follow in the beginning of the nineteenth century, because it spread Christianity, increase economic power and profits and it benefit the weaker countries that united states take over.
When a country feels superior to another and decides to take it over, that is called imperialism. Imperialism was occurring through a major part of the late 1800s and early 1900s, mainly taking a toll on Africa. During imperialism a country is able to gain government, trade, or the culture that has been adopted. The concept and action of imperialising can destroy many people's values and the their way of life for them personally. Imperialism was a selfish and negative concept towards certain cultural groups during the time of its reign.
Imperialism is when one country controls another country politically, economically and or culturally it started in the late 1800s and ended in the early 1900s. The European motives for imperialism were economic, exploratory, ethnocentric, political, and religious.

For exploratory they were interested in new lands for scientific research. For ethnocentric Europeans thought they were better than Africa and Asia which is racist. Politically they wanted to control countries to have the best military and most power. The last motive was religious and they wanted to expand Christianity to other

What is imperialism? Imperialism is a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force. Beginning in the 1800s European explorers began to push their way into the interiors of western and central Africa. In 1807 the British outlawed the trans-Atlantic and in 1833 slavery itself bringing a new wave of imperialism. What were the driving force behind European Imperialism in Africa?
Imperialism is when stronger nations take over weaker nations. As a matter of fact, one example of Imperialism is the Scramble for Africa, which happened during the 19th Century. The Scramble for Africa is when European nations all wanted a piece of Africa which they were incredibly rich and raw materials. For example, African countries had Gold, diamonds, coal, oil, and so much more. There are many factors that play into the development of Imperialism, but which one played the largest role.
Being seen as conventionally attractive can lead to a specious appearance of likability and trustworthiness. Expressions such as “it is the prettiest ones that break your heart” or “it is the ones you least expect that betray you” permeate conversations and shape perceptions. It seems that appearance plays a large role in the way people are initially perceived. This may seem unfair to those not genetically gifted, but it can be used to one’s advantage. As Stephen King put it, “the trust of the innocent is the liar’s most useful tool.” Similarly in “Lamb to the Slaughter”, Roald Dahl asserts that the apparently innocent are often underestimated. Dahl expresses this through his portrayal of stony calmness with which Mary Maloney kills her husband and through the irony in her ingenuity covering it up.
Imperialism is defined in the dictionary as being a " The policy of extending a nation's authority by territorial acquisition or by establishing economic and political hegemony over other nations" (p 681 American Heritage college Dictionary). Usually people associate imperialism as being the domination of a small country by a larger, more powerful country, usually to the advantage of the larger country. At the beginning of the nineteenth century most of the countries in Europe were involved in imperialism.

Imperialism is the policy of extending the role of authority of a nation over a foreign country, usually in material gain. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, the United States went through an era of imperialism.

Imperialism is the domination of a weaker country by a stronger country. For instance Britain dominated India and China in the mid 1880s to the beginning of the 20th century. Imperialism has had both a positive and negative effects on the countries involved. Britain was imperialistic for many reasons, it could dominate because it had the technology and power to do so. They also needed land to acquire raw materials for growing markets.
The colonization of Zimbabwe by Britain from the late 19th through the mid-20th centuries propagated Protestant Christianity with varying degrees of acceptance due to native recalcitrance, but British colonizers inadvertently instituted patriarchy in addition to establishing an environment for an increasingly authoritarian political party, which engenders ethnic tension and xenophobia, to dominate. The Shona and the Ndebele, the primary ethnic groups of Zimbabwe, both adopted and rejected Protestant Christianity as a form of opposing foreign hegemony. By primarily confronting males and conscripting them to labor, the British exalted the significance of males in relation to Shona and Ndebele social structures, which continues to resonate in black nationalism and in the HIV/AIDS crisis. In a gradual British-enforced concession of white minority rule to popular sovereignty, the predominantly Shona Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) and its leader, Robert Mugabe, consolidated an initial political presence through socialist, black nationalist, and anti-Ndebele stances, but assumed complete control in what became a superficial representative democracy via British appeasement, regional indolence, and corruption.

Belgium taking over the Congo is an example of this. The Congo was a peaceful country, located in the heart of Africa, consisting of warm sunny days and beautiful Lake Malebo. The people were free, and happy. This was before the hell started… King Léopold II was the reason for this to happen. Léopold found the Congo and immediately fell in love with all the resources that flourished there. Léopold then went on to colonizing the Congo and taking it in for his own. He colonized the
