Movments (Learning)

A movement is when a group of people set their minds to do something together to change something looking for a certain outcome. They often focus on social issues and stuff like that. My movement is important in History for many reasons. The definition of Imperialism is "The policy of extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries, or of acquiring and holding colonies and dependencies." With that being the definition a lot of people would go out and extend the power and rules of what they had to follow. In more simple words it's basically people liked to bend the rules and try and get away with certain stuff. Basically a lot of Nations were pushing outward and trying to be above the government, wanting more wealth and resources and stuff like that. A lot of countries thought Imperialism would work but in the long run and short run it didn't turn out to favor them at all, because when they got their independence they had a hard time dealing with it. If there's anything that I would want to learn more about is what was going through their head when they thought this would work. Like if I could talk to someone from back in the day that lived in that time period I would ask them how they felt and what was going through their mind and etc.
