"The period of imperialism has witnessed many wars.
Most of these wars have been caused by attacks of
white races upon so-called "lower races." They have
resulted in the taking of territory by force. . . . The
white rulers of the colonies live at the expense of the
natives. Their chief work is to organize labor for their
support. In the typical colony, the most fertile lands
and the mineral resources are owned by white
foreigners. These holdings are worked by natives
under their direction. The foreigners take wealth out
of the country. All the hard work is done by natives."

By the 19th century, most European powers had become imperial forces ruling over a huge land in Asia, Africa, and South America.
