Concluding
This subject has created a lot of controversy in the 19th and 20th centuries for many years; another narrowly defined imperialism applying only to actual conquest and administration of one state involve the subordination of one society by another to the benefit of the latter, in a relationship that involves some degree of control over a period of time.
Been controlled by an Imperialist country developed changes in people like been violent and needing in the aspect of the general resources like food, a home, money, a job. Therefor they were fighting between each other for resources and wealth as a result they developed new or more weapons to fight fot their needs, it also depends in which country was ruling them.
They took advantages of the country that they rule, abusing of their economy resources by exploiting them to benefit the imperialist country.

Imperialism and Monopoly Capitalism
The term Monopoly Capitalism refers when there is only one owner of an industry, service, etc. For example if Toyota was the owner of all the cars registred in Japan.
And as we already mentioned the Imperialism is the action of trying to dominate a state trough the economy, politics, etc.
These both forms of domination have a linking purpose that is to have the power basically over if it is a country, resources, industries, and even people.

Characteristics of the Government
The imperialism expand almost to the whole world, the imperialist nations such as France, Great Britain, the Dutch, always have the same reason to go over another nation, power, territory and cheap resources to make products, with this in mind all that nations go to conquer other countries, leaving a lot of consequences, they put they own way of government, they invade any chance to have their own entity.
Lenin points out five basic features of imperialism, which we find useful to mention here, for many movements which call themselves labor party assert that imperialism has changed its basic characters so that Lenin’s analysis of imperialism has become outdated:
“1) the concentration of production and capital has developed to such a high stage that it has created monopolies which play a decisive role in economic life;
2) The merging of bank capital with industrial capital, and the creation, on the basis of this ‘finance capital’, of a financial oligarchy;
3) The export of capital as distinguished from the export of commodities acquires exceptional importance;
4) The formation of international monopolist capitalist associations which share the world among themselves, and
5) The territorial division of the whole world among the biggest capitalist powers is completed.” (Lenin, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, Progress Publishers, English edition, p.84)
One example is African countries, Iraq has issues between its Sunni Muslims, its Shiite Muslims, and its Kurds. The only reason they are all together in one country is that the British set the boundaries that way. This cause a lot of problem, nobody let in charge, nobody knows how to rule themselves, Great Britain just took what they need and leave, that lets problems grow in the colonies. We just can blame the imperialist nation.
Another example is the animosity between countries that were once imperialists and the countries they once colonized. For example, South Korea and China both still have somewhat shaky relations with Japan because Japan colonized parts of both countries in the early 1900s.
This examples show us how to be imperialist over a nation means, it means that you will leave a mess after you take what you need, this consequences will be seen until nowadays, and for a long time they will continue.
The imperialist system of government do not contribute to democracy, this private the colonies of exercising their rights as a nation, other countries let you without resources and in crisis, while you are with the arms cross, because you can do anything, you are under control by another nation, more powerful than you, that means you don’t have a choice, you don’t have democracy.

2. In the political way there could be different types of governments:
- Colonies: Countries governed by officials
- Protectorate: The native's government was in charge of the internal aspects under the supervision of the imperialists countries. And foreing policy and army were in charge of imperialists countries.
- Metropolitan territories: the colony was a part of the imperialist country and it was sort of a province.
3. Military occupancy.
4. They created cities in the colonies especially for the European people who lived and bringed some native to work with them.
5. The evangelization of the native people.
This events crearly didn't make a progress in freedom or even in terms of racism, or even democracy because the imperialist country was in charge of everything, so the people with the maximum power took the desition of the country without the population's opinion.

Europe as the land of imperialist countries
Europe was defenitely one of the most influential and main powers, Great Britain and France started to gain more and more power. European countries were no longer happy to just trade wih foreing lands, the wanted their own lands.
Also civilizations like the Ottoman in Africa were loosing their power, and they took advantage of their weakness.
Europeans started conquering African territories that know are called Egypt and Sudan, and in Asia what know is Vietnam, Philiphines, etc.
One of the main reasons why Britain and France took over these countries was because of the natural resources, so they could sell products on markets. Exploding these sources made European nations had the opportunity to colonize and increase the nations worth.

General Context
In this blog we will basically talk about the Imperialism in Europe around 1830 and 1880. After the Napoleonic Wars, European countries were looking forward to stable and bringing the old monarchies back to the power, they used the Congress of Vienna.
The problem was that new ideologies were being adopted such as the "Nationalism" and "Political Liberalism".
Republicans specially were the first ones to ever demanded rights, freedom of speech and their voting rights these republicans started to move in France around 1830.
This was how the countries were distributed after the Congress of Viena.
