Taking Sides

There are many well put arguments for and against imperialism. It may be that the most
powerful of countries are not satisfied with being just that- a strong empire; but they see 
other countries as frail and would like to take control. Control for a moment or control 
forever, but control nonetheless. Thus brings on the term imperialism. Imperialists were 
countries who took over other countries for their natural resources or raw materials to 
advance their economic and military benefits. Though it was thought of more 
as “expansion”, the undeniable is clear: the more power a country had, the easier it was 
to dominate a lesser country. 
Arguments against imperialism:
 -Two countries may not have the same religious beliefs.
-Too aggressive – for no good reason other than monetary.
