Question

: you are an English imperialist give 2 main reasons why we should participate in the growing of territory in the rest of the world. Why we wanted Asia and Africa. Describe one problem in each area

After ww2 looking back a the imperial era do u think what the imperial power did was a good

Answer 1

Two main reasons
1. A market for goods produced since Britain led the world in industrial production - especially in cloth and iron/steel manufactured goods - by 1850
2. Bases for her ships which were trading around the world and needed ports for resupply. Initially it was food, water, timbers, cordage and sail that needed replenishing. Later it would be coal for steam engines - - and still later oil.

Problem in Asia - Good market but huge population to control
In Africa - population easier to control but profits harder to come by (at least until South African gold and diamonds were found). Climate and disease were deadly in the interior.

One arguable good effect is the globalization we are seeing manifest in the world today. Cultures interacting. This was a result of world trade. Exchange of ideas. Extended communication between the people of the globe. Britain was a leader in this. Of course they exploited their advantage when they could. Every nation would do the same if they could. Jealousy is the source of the usual rancor.

Answer 2

There are no good reasons for these lice ridden, unwashed pompous, self righteous, filthy merchants to invade other nations, impose their silly christian religious rituals on perfectly content populations of these nations, and arrogantly seize their territory as their own. They enslaved the population, and destroyed wonderful culture. England is a very small nation, and understood very early in its social development that it would need more that it could supply through its own supply of natural resources. So, they dominated India, much of china, a lot of African nations, and were ruthless administrators. The filthy English, not to mention Spain, Portugal, and France, needed the Gold, gemstones, minerals, exotic woods, human effort agricultural products especially tea, Rubber as latex sap from Asia, woods from Asia, metal ores, textiles, scientific development, and anything else they valued. It was simply a matter of greed. And ya know, during my visit to England, a lot of its population still displays this attitude of superiority. Talk about rationalization. Yegods.
