Answers & Explanation:
(A) The image shows the idea of the colonization period (after the treaty made at the end of the Spanish-American war around 1898) known as "White man's burden" that places the American white man on a mission to "civilize" people of nations foreign countries, in a compulsory and oppressive way, in a show of sovereignty. This "civilizing" strategy is shown in the image with the teacher representing "Uncle Sam" and the children representing Caribbean countries assigned from the Spain to the U.S.
(B) Another period to be portrayed in the image is the one known as the "gilded age" (At the end of the 19th century, from the 1870s until about 1900) which representing great economic, political and military growth in the US compared to other countries. With colonialism in full swing, American imperialism thrived mainly on the oppression of native peoples, with the intention of bringing "civilization" to them. Differences in this strategy and the way the white American man saw each of these people at that time can be seen in the image, such as the African American boy cleaning the classroom windows, the indigenous boy reading a book upside down and a Chinese boy wanting to enter the class but that is visibly excluded.
(C) Some of the negative impacts associated with the colonization of Native American and African peoples, among others include degradation of the natural resources of these countries, urbanization, the introduction of strange diseases from Europe, in addition to changes in social and economic systems. Furthermore, even after centuries of the possible end of slavery, the marginalization of African peoples and their descendants, as well as indigenous peoples, Latin-americans, and lower class populations.
There is a number of ways that Portugal and other European nations tried to challenge Spanish power:
1. illegal trade with Spanish colonies - given that Spain forbade any nation to trade with their colonies in the Americas, they had to do it illegally, without Spanish knowledge. Smugglers had a special role in this given that they did most of the work
2. pirates - these nations tried to do everything in their power to diminish the authority Spain had in the Americas. This is why they resorted to privateers - that is just a fancy name for pirates who preyed on Spanish ships in order to steal their treasure
