Aim: What is Imperialism?




Do Now:
1. In your notebook discuss a time when maybe you tried to dominate someone younger, smaller, or weaker. How did you assert your power? How did it make you feel?

2. Reverse the situation, How do you feel when someone tells you what to do or dominates over you?

Notes:
Imperialism-seizure of a country or territory by a
stronger country.

• Old Imperialism – 1500-1800 European countries nations establish colonies in the Americas, India, and Southeast Asia and territory on the coast of Africa and China.



Quote of the Week:
I know, up on top
you are seeing great sights,
But down on the bottom
we, too, should have rights.
