The British built a strong and efficient administration ran the government for the Indians, deciding that they would not be able to run their government properly, became a problem later for India. Imperialism may have been a positive force for India in many ways, but the economic gain benefitted
Economic factors were a chief motivation for colonization to European countries. Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany believed conquering primitive areas would help build up industry and agriculture. He also thought it could help build up a fleet of ships and is quoted “Our future lies upon the water.” (doc 1). Other leaders such as Jules Ferry of France saw these places as shelters, ports for defense, and provisioning (doc3). John Hobson, an English economist, saw imperialism as inevitable, for powers of production outpace consumption resulting in more profit for the mother country (doc 2).
Effective missionaries are lifelong learners of culture, working to understand where their people currently are so they can lead them to a true, yet truly enculturated, understanding of the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. They understand that the core of the Good News can come wrapped in different packages and expressions. That is all to say, this book by Reggie McNeal resonates with my passion for people with a missional faith. That we should be more missional. To survive as a church in this modern western world, we need a huge paradigm shift of being missional.
Colonists were provided with even more reason to practice their religion and continue their work in America for a better, more liberated life. England's success at colonizing, what would become the United States, was due in large part to its use of charter companies. Charter companies were groups of stockholders, usually merchants and wealthy land owners, who sought personal economic gain. While the private sector financed the companies, the King provided each project with a charter conferring economic rights as well as political authority. The colonies generally did not show quick profits.

In the Slave narratives, many of the owners were practicing Christians, and the texts comment on this discussing the hypocrisy of the Christians. Henry Box Brown, in his tale Narrative of the Life of Henry Box Brown, tells of multiple Christians, making sure to distinguish them from others by labeling them as Christians. In the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Frederick Douglass uses the Christianity of one of his masters and the hypocrisy that he witness from this master as a extreme point in the story. Sexual purity can be considered a tenant of Christianity, yet in the texts written by the enslaved women, there are multiple accounts of sexual perversity and exploitation. In these texts, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, and The History of Mary Prince, the authors are the subjects of the exploitation and witness the perversity first hand.
The ideas of Social Darwinism and Social Gospel were a form of justification brought on by Americans in the late 1800s and 1900s. Social Darwinism was created by using Charles Darwin's theory of natural evolution and natural selection, 'the survival of the fittest'. Social Gospel was a moral reform movement promoted by Protestant clergy such as Walter Rauschenbusch and Washington Gladden.

Especially issues of social justice such as economic inequality, poverty, crime, racial tensions, child labor, inadequate labor unions, poor schools, and the danger of war.
The English colonies in America were established for a variety of reasons including economic and religious factors. Other reasons for colonization include the desire to expand the British Empire, establishing order, protecting colonies and to rehabilitate debtors.

These religious reformers, known as Puritans wanted to reform the Church of England from within.
Imperialism allowed industrialized countries to spread their influence to the weaker countries they conquered. Through this spread of ideals, industrialized countries were able to create markets for the products they manufactured, it also allowed them to produce specific products to sell with in these markets.
