Imperalism Global Effects

For those European countries partaking in imperialism, its effects were double handed. On one hand imperialism brought with it a secure market for that country's goods and access to cheaper goods from that market. However, these benefits are somewhat offset in that large taxes were necessary to fund imperialistic efforts. For the recipients of  imperialism the effects also possessed dualism. For industries who competed with the mother countries goods, imperialism frequently meant impoverishment and repression of their trade, and restricted freedom for the people as a whole. While in certain areas such as dock workers, in ports bustling with trade brought about by imperialism, job security was assured. Imperialism also brought with it better infrastructure and sanitation facilities such as railroads and hospitals. As you can see imperialism was full of double handedness impoverishing some while enriching others.
