Imperialism
has resulted in the exploitation's of the resources of the natives and
their countries. We see that because of colonialism that tensions build
up between ethnic groups. For example the tension between the Kayin and
the Bumar ethnic groups in Burma has resulted in the British occupation
of that area. Religion are often force to change as we see in the
conquest of Latin America by the Spaniards. Colonialism is the
conquering of a certain land, Imperialism in the conquest of multiple
land that had sovereignty before hand. In the America's Colonialism
resulted in the eradication of many natural ethnic groups while in the
old world tensions between ethnic groups arises from colonialism.
Hope this helps.
