Imperialism

After using the Princeton dictionary, the clearest answer they had given was “policy of extending your rule over foreign countries”.  The American imperialism had its pros and cons which i will discuss. The major benefit was that with the help of the U.S.A the other country would have an economic uplift. For example, the Panama Canal helped firstly with the economy, also the transportation was more common and it also lead to the independence of Cuba, Panama and Philippines. Because of the imperialism, the United States was the worlds most powerful country which helped the rest of the work with many things such as, The Worlds economy due to many factors. Moreover, the United States helped many other under developed countries to develop however, the U.S was not the only country to do that France, england, and many more european countries were doing that and Today we as Moroccans are effected by the way that France has helped us in many ways and lead us to where we are today.To me one of the main Cons to this system is when a country has no freedom and are entirely controled by the United States, thus they do not have a say. Furthermore, I think that imperialism has more cons and that strongly developed countries should continue using this system with no violanc like the United states is doing today to Irak. in additon to this the loss of culture is very bad because the nation does not know who they are andy more and where they come from. Also it would be better if it is with the consentment of the country that is concerned and if it is changed more into a contract, or pact between the two nations.
