In spite of the fact that the Imperialist Era has had a severe effect on society as a whole, Imperialist nations have taken different attitudes in colonizing new territories. One of the primary purposes of actors like Britain and Germany was to exploit the territories that they conquered with little to no regard concerning the individuals who previously inhabited these areas. However, while the British accepted the idea of having colonists live alongside of indigenous populations, the Germans were less enthusiastic concerning the concept and focused on removing native populations from some of the territories that they conquered. While one might initially be inclined to consider that British control in India and German control in South-West Africa was relatively similar, the two colonies were actually very different and this can be observed through the influences that these two powers had...
These two powers primarily wanted to exploit countries and individuals they came across with the purpose of gaining profits for the empires as a whole. They both acknowledged the potential that South-West Africa and India had and went through great efforts with the intention of imposing their power in these territories.
Conditions were initially the same in the two colonies, considering that both colonizing powers installed companies with the purpose of controlling exploits in the areas and that disputes between them and locals were not necessarily widespread. Many locals in India actually joined the British in their endeavor and got actively engaged in assisting them overthrow individuals who did not appreciate that they would come to be controlled by a foreign power. Similarly, even with the fact that the locals in South-West Africa did not actually appreciate that their lands were taken from them, they did not collaborate in criticizing the German colony…

Imperialism and African Colonization: Imperialism is empire building and occurs when one state is more powerful than the other state's obstacles (such as peoples, geographic obstacles, physical obstacles and technological obstacles) to expansion. Imperialism became a popular cause for the first time in Western countries in the 1890s due to a significant degree by propaganda that sought to make nationalism and imperialism popular (Pieterse par, 2). Towards the end of the

International Regulation of Tourism in Antarctica Since the mid-1980s, Antarctica has been an increasingly popular tourist destination, despite the relative danger of visiting the largest, least explored -- and arguably least understood -- continent on earth. Beginning with the 1959 treaty establishing Antarctica as an international zone free of claims of sovereignty by nation's that had been instrumental in establishing research stations there, there has been almost constant negotiation about how
USA Hegemony There are no fundamental differences between now and what international politics used to be in the first half of the 20th Century. It is true that the post-WWII period has been more peaceful, but it is not because of a fundamental transformation in the way international politics works. To state that there are no fundamental differences between international politics in 1900-45 and afterwards would be to carry the argument to
European Imperialism and Decolonization: Spectacular in Some Respects Not Spectacular in Other Respects European Imperialism and Decolonization: Spectacular in Some Respects, Not Spectacular in Other Respects The term "spectacular" is, in some respects, subjective. The collapse of European empires after 1945 was spectacular in some respects but not in others. The British Empire's decolonization after World War II can be logically called "spectacular" in its scope; however, it was not "spectacularly" surprising or shocking, for
Democratic Transition in Asia Transition and Structural Theories of Democratization Important Asian countries participated in the Third Wave of democratization from the 1970s to the 1990s, including South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. In China and Burma, there might have been a democratic revolution in 1989-90 had the ruling regimes not suppressed their own people with utmost brutality. This Third Wave, which according to Samuel Huntington started in Spain and
