Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -“The White Man’s Burden” justified an imperialist project, and supported the position that the United States should join forces with British imperialism and share the “white man’s burden” of “extending civilization to peoples considered inca-pable of governing themselves” (Zwick 1992: xviii).
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1899 Kipling’s poem “The White Man’s Burden” was published (Boehmer 42). Its main theme suggests that it is the “duty” of the White European and North American nations to rule and civilise the “savage” Afro-Asian nations.
