Imperialism+Term+Skits+4D

You are representatives from Portugal. To control your newly acquired population you will rule in a style that is known as **force method rule**. What this means is you will physically make your civilization do what you want them to do. This may include beatings, decapitation, and even death if necessary. You look at your population more as animals than humans.

1. Why did imperialism start in Europe? 2. What was the incentive of Europe to become imperialists over other countries? 3. Why was Africa imperialized? 4. How did imperialism change the world? 5. Do the benefits of imperialism outweigh the costs?

1. Because they had most of the power at the time and they wanted to globalize their products and culture for dominance and economic gain. 2. They wanted to spread their influence as the superior race and also to trade in other nations in order to get money and foreign products from other regions of the world. 3. Africa was imperialized because Africa was one of the trade centrals of the world at the time, so, many European nations imperialized Africa for their own financial gain. 4. Imperialism brought culture, and knowledge to all parts of the world, and also made it so that products common in Africa or America became common in Europe or other continents. 5. The costs of imperialism is just what affects the ones being imperialized. So, the Europeans weren't affected, but the Africans were. But, in trade, they also got products from Europe, and knowledge from the Europeans. So, as one side gains a lot, and the other, lost some but gained some, I'd say that its benefits outweigh the costs.
