6.04 Imperialism

by: Emily Karth

Imperialism + China = Bad

Imperialism in China had a very negative impact. European countries came and took over China's ports just so that trade would be easier for themselves. Britain originally was trading gold and silver for silk, tea, and porcelain. Soon Britain ran out of the metals and wanted to trade opium, (a drug). China said "no". Britain didn't like that so they went to war. We won the war and forced China to accept Opium as a for of currency. The terms were very harsh and unfair so China rebelled again. We won once again and forced China to accept opium as a form of currency again. Drug abuse became a widespread epidemic throughout China because of so much opium. People were getting really sick. Imperialism is not good for China

What does "Imperialism" mean?

Imperialism- the system under which nations take over other countries either by conquering them or by gaining control over their political and economic systems.

Imperialism + China = Good

The colonization of China benefited many Imperialist nations greatly. With China being colonized this lead to easier trade routes. It also made it much easier to trade with European nations. Colonists brought new cultures and languages to China. European colonists showed the Chinese how to be actual "civilized" people. They also provided a "real" education. Imperialism in China was for the best.
