Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Imperialism refers to the political and economic domination of one country over another, often involving the use of military force. Western imperialism in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East had a negative impact on the independent growth and productivity of these regions, often resulting in the exploitation of their natural resources and labor, and the suppression of local cultures and economies. Civil wars and exploration may also have had an impact, but they are not as closely associated with Western intervention in these regions. Clergymen may have played a role in spreading Western culture and values, but their influence was not typically as direct or forceful as that of imperial powers.
