Imperialism

Imperialism is a policy in which a strong nation seeks to dominate other countries politically, economically, or socially.  Its a policy that has both helped, and hurt the world.  In Africa, imperialism took over, and the land became many different European colonies.  These colonies brought with them modern technology, and helped boost the economy.  They also helped to educate the African people.  And they built better health care facilities.  But the colonies only cared about themselves.  Most Africans were forced into slavery, and had their basic rights taken away.  They lost most of their culture, and their languages were forgetten.  Finally, many Africans were shipped, against their will, to England and America to become slaves on plantations.  Although Imperialism could help people, it often led to the mistreatment of the native people, and a loss of mans natural born rights.
