THE IMPERIALISM, THE WORLD IN THE 19th CENTURY
FROM NEOCOLIANISM TO MILITARISM
Corporations made it clear to their
governments that if there had to be trade and
investment outside of Europe, then there was
a need for a political and legal system to
protect it. The same thing happened with the
U.S. and later with Japan.
DEFINITION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE IMPERIALISM
In the late nineteenth century, historians identified the period from 1871 to 1914
as the Era of imperialism. Imperialism is a special stage of the development of
capitalism.
INTERVENTIONISM IN LATIN AMERICA
In Latin America, on the other hand,
already a legal system was sufficiently
stable for investment and trade to
continue. Britain's open intervention was
seldom necessary; it was called "gunboat
diplomacy” that is, sending some boats to
block the main port and forcing things to
be done for the benefit of British investors or traders (It occurred in Buenos
Aires in 1808, in Nicaragua in 1841, 1848, throughout the decade of 1850 and,
again, in 1874).
