Introduction Chapter 10 - 11

Imperialism can be explained as empire building. This occurs when one state or country is more powerful than an other. The nations of Europe had become very powerful due to industrialization. they targeted latin America, Asia, and Africa, their countries were not as industrialized(if at all) or they were not developed enough to fend off the large nations of Europe. However Asia did not truely fit this it was far more develped and its population was too large for it to be directly controlled. Racism and Anti-Semitims was a large driving force behind imperialism. in this chapter i hope to show what i have learned through the chapter and hopefully show some new information.
