The period of imperialism has witnessed many wars. Most of these wars have been caused by attacks of white races upon so-called "lower races. They have
resulted in the taking of territory by force. ... The white rulers of the colonies
live at the expense of the natives. Their chief work is to organize labor for their
support. In the typical colony, the most fertile lands and the mineral resources
are owned by white foreigners. These holdings are worked by natives under
their direction. The foreigners take wealth out of the country. All the hard work
is done by natives
