Imagine that you are an educated citizen of an imperialist European nation in the 19th century. You have not yet formed a well-t

hought-out opinion about imperialism, nor do you have a set opinion about the influence your nation has imposed on China. Now is your time to think about both sides of the argument by writing two editorials on imperialism in China.
Step 1: Write a one paragraph editorial that supports imperialism in China. Remember, you are writing from the perspective of a citizen of a European imperialist nation. Use the information you learned in the lesson on how colonization benefited imperialist nations to support your claims with evidence.

Step 2: Write a one paragraph editorial that rejects imperialism in China. Consider the claims made in your first editorial supporting imperialism and use evidence from the lesson to counter them.

1. Support:

Wherever Europeans have gone, they have brought the word of the Gospel, Economic prosperity, political freedom and an advanced way of life. We have been able to educated wild and barbarians of Africa and India and there is no indication of why we cannot replicate the success in a country like China.

They do not have any democratic government, the worship false gods, they need a savior and they need our help to improve the condition of the poor and needy.



2. Against:

To define people of India, Africa or China as barbarians is not just ignorant but stupid at best. These are ancient civilizations, with traditions, cultures and religions pre-dating thousands of years of European history.
These are sophisticated people who do not want and would not welcome an alien people, religion and way of life in to their proud countries.

We have already plundered countries all over the world, have we learned nothing? Locals despise our presence and only tolerate us. If the money to keep the local government officials run out, we experience uprisings.

Why complicate our Empire's further? Why not develop friendly relations and end the continuous wars and killings?

kirill115 [55]

In the 1840s, the U.S was struck with the idea of <em>manifest destiny</em>. An idea that America should control North America from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Mexico had the legal right to Texas thus dominated California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Two territories stood in America's way of accomplishing the manifest destiny idea; first, the Oregon Territory that was occupied by both Great Britain and the United States and the Western and Southwestern areas owned by Mexico.   The differences between the United States and Mexico over the border of Texas led to the Mexican American War that resulted in American gaining ownership of Arizona, California,  New Mexico, and Texas. The ownership of these territories fulfilled the '<em>Manifest Destiny' </em>of the U.S stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Manifest Destiny.
