Over the centuries, people have formed nations that have different types of governments and beliefs. As nations expand, they often take over the land of other people. The new land gives these nations access to valuable resources and trading routes. This expansion can result in one group of people forming a vast empire.

Look back at what you know about the patterns of past colonization and empire formation, and address these questions:

Can one nation or empire take over another nation without oppressing others?

Has imperialism become more or less oppressive as the world has become more industrialized?

Is it possible in an era of many democratic societies and advanced technology for nations to gain power without oppressing others? That is, can nations avoid denying people their rights? Explain.

Teresa Nielsen · Answer 1

yes, a nation or emperor can take over another nation with its military intelligence they can take over but the problem is that they cant take over another nation without any allies supporting them unless they tell other nations to back down and not intervene with the problem. My opinion on imperialism is that they have became less oppressive as the world has become more industrialized because now the nations instead of having an imperious now they have a president and now they can vote or us the people can now vote to the person elected to represent us the people.
