Imperialism is the takeover of c country or territory by a stronger nation with the intent of dominating the political, economic, and social life of the people of that nation. It affected the world in many ways, both positively and negatively. Positively, it increased the land that the parent country has control over, it provides the parent country with resources it might not have had previously, and the colony receives protection from the parent colony when it is required. However, there were drawbacks. It caused resistance movements to form, it took rights away from the colony's indigenous people, and it altered the lives of Africans forever. Africans in colonies were treated as lower level beings by the Europeans.
