Imperialism is a policy carried out by large countries to control the territory and resources of small or weak countries.
The imperialism period began in the 19th century and lasted until the beginning of the 20th century.
One of the impacts of imperialism is the birth of colonialism, namely the government system carried out by the colonial state over the colonies.
The famous colonial countries at that time were Britain, France, the Netherlands and Spain.
Colonialism has a bad impact on the colonies, such as the use of unbalanced resources, economic exploitation, and cultural colonialism.
The struggle against imperialism and colonialism is widely carried out by national heroes, such as Sukarno in Indonesia, Mahatma Gandhi in India, and Nelson Mandela in South Africa.
After World War II, many colonies have gained independence, but there are still some countries that are still colonized today.
Imperialism also affects the development of culture and art, such as the adoption of Western culture by colonies.
During imperialism, many discoveries and innovations occurred, such as telegraphs, trains, and steam engines.
The history of imperialism is an important lesson for the world today, so as not to repeat mistakes in the past and uphold human rights and fair and equitable international cooperation.
