Imperialism was a country’s means of expanding their power, which often resulted in negative effects for the countries deemed inferior. As time progressed, intentions seemed to sway from the original goal. Though coined as the White Man’s Burden, imperialism typically burdened the countries it “helped”; dominating those with weaker economies, exerting its power internationally, and causing harmful backlash from indigenous people.
