Imperialism and Exploitation Social Darwinism Questions
Introduction
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, White Mans Burden, called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., which the poem was directed at, to take up the mission of civilizing these savage peoples.
