Question

Pls I need your help

Answer 1

One of the reasons for Imperialism especially in the eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds was the due to Europe and Japans quickly emerging status as manufacturing nations. By and large they needed sources for raw materials, and because there was not a "global economy" as there is now it was not possible to trade bananas for umbrellas, not on a large scale anyway, so as trade graduated from spices and gems and cloth to More substantial items Imperialism once again raised its ugly head but this time not so much in the desire for territory as much as it was for resources. And from the point of the Imperialist, there really was no other option. One justification for it is that the More Advanced nations brought their educational standards and advances to the rest of the world thereby eventually building in the demise of Imperialism.

Answer 2

There were certain historical conditions when imperialism was a good idea. When the Spanish started colonizing the South American continent, human sacrifice began to dwindle. Unfortunately, slavery became an institution, and still has a grip on many cultures in the region.

Some forms of imperialism have survived through the ages, although its outward form has changed somewhat. Few countries will take over another as an example of outright annexation; however, a country might send military forces to another country as an incentive to spur trade. Although these situations are sometimes labelled as "liberation efforts" or other misnomers, they still have the flavor and smell of imperialism; but since the "letter of the law" is being obeyed to a rough extent, it is no longer considered blatant imperialism, although the "liberated" country's citizens may not agree... Such as the case in Iraq, or in various regions of Colombia, Peru, Mexico and Panama.

Answer 3

Wow, well, justifications is a bad word.. maybe reasons, or benefits of imperialism... or I guess, justifications are reasons that those who benefit from imperialism use to show why wars, killing, etc., are OK.
Imperialism allows a country to gain access to natural resources and cheap labor and thus increase it's wealth. Maybe what you mean by justifications are reasons that the people in the nations under imperialist control would want imperialism in their country...? If that is the case, well, it is said that those who are actually ruling directly are people from that country or region under imperialist rule; in other words, the nation with power is indirectly governing and shaping the laws and commerce in the imperialized nation. So people there are "benfitting" from the increased activity in the economy (commerce) through jobs and increased access to goods and services, and local people are in political office seeming to rule over that activity.
For the rest of that question... do your homework...

Answer 4

The only justification for imperialism is the desire of the imperialist country to increase it's global power. Does that justify it objectively? Of course not. Is it still practiced by Western nations? Definitely. Where? Hmm, heard of Iraq recently?

Answer 5

First, do you have any other spellings, the imperialist spelling inventor, for the word in question which should be spelt 'IMPERIALISM'!
There is no room for imperialism in the modern world! If there is anyone with this evil thought, he or she should find a quiet corner in a sandy beach to bury the head!
In fact, if there are any institutions still around with the word 'imperial' attached to it, they should seriously consider dropping it deep down the ocean! Some examples for consideration here are the famous 'Imperial College', Imperial Tobacco Co., Imperial Chemicals, and so on!

Answer 6

It is good for a country if they want to stay strong. Those who control the strings of the world will stay on top. I think Imperialism is more subtle today. Done with mostly loans to poorer nations, nations that the countries know they won't be able to repay, so they will get their natural resources as payment

Answer 7

A lot of people outside the states view the US as quasi-imperialistic.
