While reading these two articles, consider imperialism within several complex frames:
Modernism — Imperialism
Technology — Imperialism
Language — Imperialism
Communication — Imperialism
Empire v. Empire: One might imagine an empire as a single power running roughshod with ease over vulnerable nations, governments, or peoples, but what about two or more imperialistic protagonists trying to out-empire one another?
Bonus:
1. Describe and analyze how command of technology, science, or technical/scientific knowledge can empower an imperialistic authority in pursuit of dominance over another nation or people.
