5)Is imperialism inevitable? Will/ should we ever strive for pure equality of power and wealth? Explain your answer using at least 2 examples from history to support your answer
For what we have experienced and have learned that in history imperialism has only or mostly happened in countries that are not developed and that have very good raw materials that are needed to industrialize countries and get wealthier. Imperialism is just a strong country taking over a weaker country or colony. In Africa they didn't have education and due to that they didn't have the knowledge to get modernize like Europe. That's in some cases imperialism is inevitable because the weaker cant defeat a stronger country. That's why the Africans couldn't fight back even though they tried but they couldn't because Europe had modern technology and armies.
Countries like Africa that really are poor in everything and that only specialize in one job like only getting food and not on building weapons and making new creations. Now countries like Great Britain which have a favorable geography and were able to create new things and get modernize. Therefore we shouldn't strive for equality because I don't think everyone should be equal because life would be boring and you always want to be different have your own goals in life and always try to be higher than others and have competition that's the only way you will succeed.
