Imperialism Case

Imperialism is defined as one country's domination of the political, economic, and social life of another country. Imperialism is bad because the country subjected to imperialism is forced to give up their culture and government. The imposing country usually strips the country of valuable resources. It is an act of aggressively expanding one countries doctrine over other countries. Many can lose their freedom. The European imperialist push into Africa was motivated by three main factors labor force (slavery), cultural confusion, and the poor quality of education.
