5. HOW IMPERIALISM WORKS
Europeans want to control all aspects of their colonies:
influence political, social lives of people
shape economies to benefit Europe
want people to adopt European customs
Europeans develop four forms of control of territory:
Colony (direct) — governed by a foreign power
Protectorate (indirect) — governs itself, but under outside control
Sphere of Influence — outside power controls investment, trading
Economic Imperialism — private business interests assert control

Direct Control

Assimilation — adaptation of local people to ruling culture
