2.Describe imperialism ... including your view of it.   

Imperialism is when one country extends its spheres of power and controls or presides over some other country or nation. There are four different forms of imperialism. The first form; holding direct influence over it like England and the colonies. The second form; protecting smaller countries from from invasions by other nations. A modern day example of this is Guam. The third; “spheres of influence,” when countries have a certain privilege over a particular region. The last form is called, “economic imperialism, meaning that outside influence came about by a private business not a country. I disagree with imperialism as a whole. I do not think that it is fair for the larger countries to take advantage of the smaller countries by exerting their power over them. If the smaller countries want help from the larger ones, than they can ask for it, they should not have to be forced in to it.

Nationalism is a concept where people view loyalty to their nation of origin as a part of their identity. Nationalism became widespread around the 1800s. This helped citizens of the same countries to become united. One example of this was the German people. When the prime minster Otto Von Bismark united the country by waging war. This he thought would united the country, and it did in a way even though Germany wound up splitting in to the north and south regions. This split eventually led to a unification of Germany in to the new German Empire.
