Old And New Imperialism

Imperialism had two different eras. The first wave of imperialism known as "old" imperialism continued from 1500 to 1800. "New" imperialism lasted from 1870 to 1914. The three main differences we are discussing today are economics, politics, and the motivation behind all of them. Through economics, the wave of old and new imperialism is very different. Economics of the past was mostly about trading, and they imperseded that local merchants would buy the goods they brought.

Imperialism is the rule of all regions of the world. Due to the industrial revolution and the interests of nationalism, around 1750 a new era of imperialism was born. Old imperialism began between 1450 and 1750, but until 1914 imperialism continued. Old imperialism and new imperialism have the basic concept of dominating and using foreign countries. Old imperialism was mainly concentrated in the trade system, but the new imperialism took a bold measure to transcend the state. Former imperialism

Under imperialism, a powerful country creates an empire by dominating weak nations such as economic, political, cultural and military. The reasons for this imperialist growth are economic factors, nationalistic factors, military factors and human factors. In the United States, there are people who oppose this, others who do.

There are many other important factors, but the main reason for the rise of imperialism is, of course, economic. Eric J. Hobsbawn's "Age of Empire" provides interpretation of the new imperialism. Hobbes claimed that imperialism is "a natural byproduct of the international economy" (Sherman pg 177). He basically said that imperialism is dependent on the competition of the competitive industry and the competitive industry continues to promote the international economy. - After President McKinley was assassinated, when he took office in 1901, Theodore Roosevelt succeeded the growing empire. The United States annexed Hawaii in 1898 and the western American war gave America control over the Philippines. It also led the United States to establish a protectorate in Cuba and to provide territorial status to Puerto Rico. After the end of the Spanish-American war, the Philippine Islands became an American colony, and the separation of America from international politics came to an end.
