What is Imperialism?? Anyone have any idea?! Okay well...

Imperialism is forcing one countries rules and power through force or military action. 
Ex) British Invasion....anyone remember this from social studies?! 

Today we are going to read The White Man's Burden and we are going to look at how Imperialism effected different people.
