I found this quote interesting because it showed how the people who were imperializing were like. This quote had made my belief of imperialism intensify. I believed that Imperialism was not a good thing and caused a lot of pain to others. This intensified my belief of Imperialism because the quote was mostly about the white man killing and hurting others and the true nature of those who were imperializing others.

Joseph chamberlain, who used that quote used it to justify colonization. He uses it to say that what they were doing was right because you can't achieve success without destroying something. My belief that imperialism is bad intensified because it was cruel to cause violence and take over countries. It relied on intimidation and force. The people suffered from the whites who imperialized.

This quote intensified my belief about imperialism because I used to believe it was all about power but now I know it also has to deal with other races. This makes me see how imperialism was worse than I thought because other people from other races thought they were better than another race .

This quote intensified my belief of imperialism. It shows how the even 'religious' people who believe strongly in God can abandon those beliefs when it comes to wealth. The white men show up to foreign countries with the bible to possibly spread the 'word of god' but leave land instead. They might have spread religion considering they left the bible, but that bible and religion cost the foreigners their land and freedom. Having the land gave the whites power on the people who lived there. Rather than try to spread their beliefs on religion, the whites spread their beliefs on imperialism for power and to justify their theft. The bible might have been a symbol of Christianity, but in this case it's just a tool to gain control. This strengthens my original idea of imperialism being a tactic to assert dominance, power and gain wealth.

This quote only reinforced how I felt about imperialism since I had the general idea that imperialism was a bad thing and wouldn't be good. Now with the knowledge of seeing these quotes, this quote in specific shows that some people would justify imperialism with the pursuit of well being for others. The quote also is different since for once a leader argued that it helped the future and the empire that was colonizing foreign land wasn't doing it for any selfish motive but to help the bettering of the empire itself. The quote also just shows that different leaders had completely different reasonings for conquering other lands, some did it for the well-being of the empire and the people that live in the colonizing land and others believed that their civilization was superior and needed to exterminate the other "inferior race".

This quote intensified my belief on imperialism because it shows how the imperialists didn't care about taking other people's things. The imperialist took the Africans land as if it was nothing and normal. As the imperialists took the Africans land they never thought about how the Africans would feel with this. These imperialists were very greedy and were taking more of what they already had. They were very advanced which they saw as an opportunity to go and take more from others that don't have as much as what the imperialists had.
