Imperialism (not to be confused with Star Wars)

Imperialism is yet another advancement in MWH because it follows the trends of our studies while simultaneously shaping the way we do things today. Along with past events such as the French Rev and the Industrial Rev, Imperialists used fear and superiority to maintain power over their laborers and subjects. This historical trend highlights the origins of human interaction and how it has shaped our world today. For instance, the Committee of Public Safety during the French Rev used the guillotine as a method of ensuring absolute loyalty from their citizens. The Third Estate leaders instilled fear in citizens to maintain power over them, as with the Imperialists leaders. In the Congo Free State, King Leopold cut off people's body parts to make sure that they would not disobey him. He too instilled fear to keep power. This highlights the way people interact when there is an inbalance of wealth or a difference in government policies. Economic incentives affect how people treat each other for the better or worse, as shown through imperialism and the demand for naural resources.
