The conditions of competition between powers that motivate those with more power to take from those with less.The themes that characterize this period are among the driving forces of history. They continue to influence the events of the modern world. Through the lens of imperialism, students explore how power and control were used to manipulate the less developed nations of the world. Imperialists reaped political and economic gains, while those who were colonized lost even more.During the 1800s, some nations sought to add to their empires by expanding into other countries with the use of force. The results of such imperialism were negative for less developed countries. Fierce nationalism, civil unrest, and revolution were often the results.
