Imperialism


Imperialism is the extension of rule or influence by one government, nation, or society over another. In 1914, African territories were under European powers. The powers are Great Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Italy, and Independant. Those countries adopted new imperialism. The Boer War had an affect on the Zulu nation because the Boer War was between the Boer's and the British. The Zulu nation was taken over by the British. As a result the Zulu nation was also involved in the war with the Boer's due to being taken over by the the British after their war. This was all an effect of the imperialism on another nation. Europeans used motives for imperialism. Racism was a major role that took place because the whites and blacks faught a lot which had to do with ideological. Thier were many slaves that had to work and carry items which had to do with economics. A book with writings and laws on it has to do with political motive. Imperialism had a large effect on how governments acted.
