Positive Effects of the New Imperialism
However while there were some sad and negative effects of Imperialism I believe that there were also positives. With Europe now conquering many different countries. The Europeans had an opportunity to spread technology, as well as open trade and increase prosperity. They were also becoming very wealthy and educated. The Europeans were now able to discover new regions that had not been mapped before and learn new things from different cultures. On the other hand, the people being conquered gained some advantages too. With Europeans coming in and taking over government they changed rules and regulations. Now most people would see this as a negative, but there were certain traditions that may have been brutal, in moral, and inhuman that were now seen as indecent and outlawed. Giving people more freedom in certain areas.
