Positive Effects of the New Imperialism

New Imperialism had lots of good things to it. In the first place, missionaries got to spread Christianity. Countries with bad-ish and unfair governments could benefit from learning about democracy and stuff like that, it helped them get their freedom and independence in some cases, like if they learned about nationality. The West was way ahead in their living conditions because of the Industrial Revolution so they could help other people to get to that quality of life, as they did when they spread their medicines laws and schools and stuff like that. (But for the West to look down on countries like as children was the wrong thing.) I'm sure when Britain took over all those countries in Africa it helped out their own economies and it helped them get more power in the world but there's no way that I personally could call that an effect that was positive because of the negative ones it brought to the people in the countries they were controlling. Besides that though, the British helped like, in India they built railroads and regular roads and they helped communication out a lot by putting their own postal and telegraph systems.
