Question

How did China benefit from imperialism?

Answer 1

Answer:

The imperialism benefited Europe for a time, and even china for a while. During the seventeenth century, the Europeans actually set up silver n gold mines in their colonies in the New World. They initially sent this silver over to china because Europeans enjoyed owing finished Chinese goods, that and nations like Spain had kicked all the Jews out of Spain, which meant that they had no bankers.  

Wealth flowed freely into the European nations and they used to purchase the Highest end weaponry and used the territories that they controlled to either wage war amongst one another, or as staging grounds to expand their land holdings. The benefits centered around hoarding riches and technological advances. On top of that, europeans were on the very top of the social ladder wherever they visited because of their power and influence. Britain literally had an army fighting in south Africa that was essentially just people from India. Their profits were so excessively large because they produced finished goods in the home nation while they imported the valuable raw materials that they needed to produce whatever they wanted to.

Answer 2

Though Europe certainly benefited from imperialism, I don't think the same can be said about China. There are plenty of reasons why, but I will simply put a couple here...

Firstly, European merchants would often trade opium in China, which led to large-scale opium addictions across the country. The trades also weakened the Chinese economy in benefit towards the British.
