The Problems with Imperialism
The “White Man’s Burden” poem by Rudyard Kipling justifies the cause for imperialism. Those being conquered view being controlled as unfair. On the other hand, many imperialists do this as a favor and see this as a must using religion as motivation. However, these imperialists especially the current main three of Britain, America, and France are leaving a big impact on their inferiors. The “White Man’s Burden” still has a contemporary relevance today and still serves as justification for imperialism. In the poem the line, “Send forth the best ye breed” is a demand made to send the best men of the mother country to go and conquer. The best in this case is any white man. Today America owns islands such as Guam
