TYPES
OF IMPERIALISM
Europeans
began building their empires in the western hemisphere in the early 1500s, but
by the 1800s, Spain and Portugal were no longer powerful countries, and
the largest British colony had become the United States. Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and the Netherlands continued to colonize during this era,
but they also devised other ways to spread their empires. In the late 19th
century Japan and the United States joined the European nations as an
imperialist power.
Types
of imperialism in the 1800s included:
Colonial imperialism - This
form of imperialism is virtual complete takeover of an area, with
domination in all areas: economic, political, and socio-cultural. The
subjugated area existed to benefit the imperialist power, and had almost
no independence of action. In this era, almost all of Africa
and southern and southeast Asia were colonized.
Economic imperialism - This
form of imperialism allowed the area to operate as its own nation, but the
imperialist nation almost completely controlled its trade and other
business. For example, it may impose regulations that forbid trade with
other nations, or imperialist companies may own or have exclusive rights
to its natural resources. During this era, China
and most of Latin America were subjected to
economic imperialism.
Political imperialism -
Although a country may have had its own government with natives in top
political positions, it operated as the imperialist country told it to.
The government was sometimes a relatively permanent "puppet
government," as happened in late Qing China, and other times the
control was temporary, as occurred in the Dominican Republic when the
United States ran its government until it got out of debt.
Socio-cultural imperialism -
The dominating country deliberately tried to change customs, religions and
languages in some of the countries. A good example was British
India, where English was taught in schools, Indian soldiers
dressed British-style, and western trading rules were set up. Generally,
the imperialist countries assumed their cultures to be superior, and often
times they saw themselves as bringing about improvements in the society.

How about this. I'll be the first to do it. Personal responsiblity. I'll take the blame, for all of it. It was my fault, I admit it. I meant well, but things just got out of hand, and I lost control.

I apologize and will do my best not to let this happen again.


Now, let us start from scratch.

Everybody wants to make this world a better place for themselves and the people who come after them.

The problem is that everybody has a different idea of what that better world should be like and how we should get there.

And nobody wants to admit that they might just maybe could be wrong.

Everybody else is just trying to get through the day with enough to eat, a dry place to sleep, and not getting shot by one of the other folks.

Once upon a time, the USA had possession of the Philippine Islands, but the USA set the Philippines free.

Once upon a time, the USA had complete possession of Cuba, but the USA set Cuba free.

Once upon a time, the USA had possession of the Panama Canal, but then the USA gave it back to the nation of Panama.

The giving away of such possessions is the opposite of what an imperial nation would do.

What is happening in Syria is being decided by America on one side and Russia on the other, that is a proxy not a myth.

If we want to understand why US-led wars of aggression, covert
and overt, are plaguing the planet, from Iraq, Afghanistan, to
Libya, Syria and Iran, we can gain much insight into today’s
problems by going back to events at the end of the Second World
War.

Sure I see the problem.....you don't have a clue.

You are also not an American either so have no horse in this race

As to your comment about any past posts of mine, you reference it with slander and don't offer it for rebuttal? I post many things, some for laughs, some for discussion others just to get a rise.... that's what forums are

As far as telling me what my country has or doesn't have, the merits of a video that you didn't even watch yet bothered to comment on...... get a life!

maybe Plato was right,and it just has become too big!
Probably smaller Republics with Treaties among each other!
Or return the power to Govern where it rightfully belongs to,The States!
We see it here in Switzerland,small Country,yet every year,the Federal Government arrogates itself Powers that traditionally belonged to the Cantons(States)!
