What Are The Short And Long Term Effects Of Imperialism

Imperialism

Many European countries have imperialized many other countries. For example, Great Britain has imperialized the Philippines. There was many short term and long term effects of imperialism in the Philippines. There were some positive effects but mostly negative effects.
Imperialism had a lot of short and long term effects. One of the main examples is in politics. Some short term effects in politics was conflict. There was a lot of conflict between the British and the Filipino. But a long term effect of conflict in politics was many changes in the forms of the government. So the effects were negative and positive.
Some of the resources that were gained during the imperialism of the Philippines were in the

economy. The resources were crops and money. The British used the land for crops and kept the money that was from the crops. The flow of money was a positive long term effect while the British profiting from them was short term.
Another resource from imperialism of the Philippines was modern day medicine. A negative short term effect was that the british would bring disease when they would colonize. So they then started or had to make a solution solution and prevention to all of the disease outbreak. It also ended up being long term with the medicine because we have been able to continue to develop better and better medicine.
All in all, imperialism seemed to have many negative short term effects. It also brought many positive long term effects that we still benefit from to this day. In some ways though imperialism is not that bad.
