The definition of imperialism is stronger nations attempting to create empires by dominating weaker countries.

America took over multiple countries and nations to create an empire. Some of these nations were Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines because of the Spanish American war. But we also bought Alaska from Russia and Hawaii we basically just took over.

This article is full of too many pictures and is making this story very dramatic, more than it should be.

This is my simple version of the White Mans Burden:
Take up the opportunity to help the white man
Bring your best troops
Send them to the Philippines
To control the prisoners
Bring your best materials
To control the natives
The natives now in control
They are fighting your rule
Take up the job to help the white man
It's going to be a while
Act nicely to them
Also be humble
Telling them what is going on
So they are calm
We help them
For our own gain

1. A burden is a morally and ethically wrong action made. An example of this in the time is The U.S. incarcerating innocent Filipinos.

2. Kipling views the people being imperialized were very uncooperative because he describes them as half devil, half human. He believed that since they were not cooperating, they were uneducated and would not understand what was happening, even if we were helping.

3. Kipling's views on imperialism were that anyone weaker than America should just accept that we are taking over their land. Since we were a higher power then them, they should be happy they are helping us grow as a nation and an empire.

4. The White Man's Burden is trying to control the natives in the country we are trying to take over so it is easier for us to take control, no matter what it will take for us to get the land, by keeping them prisoner or killing them.

This cartoon is showing the territories we took over or bought as children that are being annoying. But Uncle Same who is representing America is trying to keep them in control and make them civilized.

This cartoon is almost political satire. Because it is mocking how America is just picking and choosing what they want land wise for power. Because Uncle Sam is representing America just picking out what nations they want.

My opinion of imperialism and how America took nations during this time period is that America could have handled things much better. For example, the government could have been focusing on colored peoples rights instead of getting another island by killing hundreds of thousands of people for living on their own land.

There are many territories that America took over during this time period. One of these territories is Hawaii. Hawaii was under its own government, but America thought that they should get it for many reasons. We mainly wanted Hawaii for America to have more land so we had more power. But the biggest reason we wanted Hawaii was so that we could have a better route to Asia.
