Imperialism had good and bad effects on the world. Some of the good things Imperialism gave us was Orderly governments were set up. Many local wars were stopped. Industry, agriculture, and transportation were developed. Hospitals and school were built, and sanitation was improved. Western ideas about democracy and individual rights spread. But it also brought about major problems. One was bitter feelings between colonists and colonizers. Most Europeans, North Americans, and Japanese thought they were better than the people in the colonies. Colonists were seldom allowed to hold high jobs in government, industry or the armed forces. Often they were not even allowed in city areas where Europeans and North American lived.
Also the Colonists resented this. They blamed the colonial powers for the loss of their land and for being forced to work on plantations and in factories. Finally the scramble for colonies led to a great deal of competition among colonial powers. This in turn led to disputes that caused future wars.

Imperialism paragraph
First reason was because of the
industrial revolution. Second Factories needed raw materials such as rubber,
cotton, oil, tin, and copper. Also There was a demand for tea, sugar, and
cocoa. Third, industries needed new markets for their products. Factories were
turning out more goods then people at home could afford to buy. Many leaders
believed new markets could be found in areas that were not industrially
developed. Fourth was Nationalism. Many people thought colonies would add to
their country’s power. The newly founded countries of Italy and Germany wanted
to catch up with Great Britain, France, and other established colonial powers. Japan and the United States
wanted to become as important as the colonial powers. Fifth, was the belief
that western countries had a duty to “civilize” the “backward” peoples of the
world. These westerners believed they had a mission to spread Christianity and
Industrial Revolution everywhere.
