WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Imperialism adversely affected the colonies. Under foreign rule, native culture and industry were destroyed. Imported goods wiped out local craft industries. By using colonies as sources of raw materials and markets for manufactured goods, colonial powers held back the colonies from developing industries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Imperialism impacted societies in countless negative ways. It led to slave trade which then led to social discrimination around the world. It also damaged the cultures and created disunity among the natives. Last but not least, imperialism stripped countries off their natural resources and left nothing for the natives.

Detailed explanation-3: -The British restricted Indian industries, such as textiles. An emphasis on cash crops resulted in the loss of self-sufficiency for many villagers. The conversion to cash crops reduced food production, which caused famines. British missionaries and racism threatened traditional Indian culture.

Detailed explanation-4: -A colony is the most direct form of control. In this form of imperialism, a powerful nation installs its own government and maintains direct control over other territories and regions. Often, foreign officials were brought in who reported back to the “mother country".

Detailed explanation-5: -To establish control of an area, Europeans used different techniques. Over time, four forms of colonial control emerged: colony, protec-torate, sphere of influence, and economic imperialism.
