Imperialism

As the different spokes people were talking I realized that Britain seemed to do almost the almost same thing in every country they conquered. They conquered for land, resources, protection, glory, religious reasons, and because they could. The British usually came into power using the military and then shut off the countries economy. Once they did that they started to force the people to make them items they could send back to England to make into products and sell back at that country. they usually tolled the country they were just helping out and would leave soon but then never did. They usually left the country in turmoil and left them to fend for themselves. They also left with people starving and usually took slaves. But Britain did help India and the other countries as well. They usually built schools and taught many children how to read and wright in English. They also built dams, bridges, and canals helping the country. Usually the public health also greatly increased. So overall the British usually did the same thing everywhere they went.
