What is imperialism??

Imperialism and it’s affects
when the bigger, stronger Europeans countries invaded the weaker ones, they usually followed similar methods. They would invade by either starting a war or signing agreements with the ruler of the country. The reasons were very common. The invading countries wanted power, land, and glory. They also wanted the resources, (such as oil, cotton, gold, silver, etc’,) that the country had to offer. They changes that were brought upon the country were very powerful in most cases. It changed the whole way that the country was run. Usually, Britain, Russia, and France fought over the countries and most of the time Britain won. After the invading countries left, the invaded ones would have a different religion, different language, and a different way of living.
