Novo Imperialismo

No contexto histórico, o Novo Imperialismo é unha política e período de expasión colonial das potencias europeas, os Estados Unidos e o Xapón durante finais do século XIX e comezos do XX.^[1] O período supuxo unha carreira sen precedentes de novas adquisicións territoriais de ultramar. Daquela, os estados centráronse en construír imperios grazas a novos avances e desenvolvementos tecnolóxicos, facendo medrar o seu territorio a través da conquista e a explotación dos recursos dos países subxugados. Durante a era do Novo Imperialismo, as potencias occidentais (e o Xapón) conquistaron individualmente case toda África e partes de Asia. A nova onda de imperialismo reflectiuse en rivalidades entre as grandes potencias, o desexo económico de novos recursos e mercados, e o ethos da "misión civilizadora". Moitas das colonias creadas durante esta época acadaron a independencia na época da descolonización que seguiu á segunda guerra mundial.

O cualificativo "Novo" é empregado para diferenciar o imperialismo moderno da actividade imperial máis antiga, como a chamada primeira onda de colonización europea que se desenvolveu entre os séculos XV e XIX.^[1]^[2] Na primeira onda de colonización, as potencias europeas conquistaron e colonizaron América e Siberia; despois crearon postos de avanzada en África e Asia.

Langer perhaps best summarized the importance of making the distinction of late-nineteenth-century imperialism when he wrote in 1935: '[...] this period will stand out as the crucial epoch during which the nations of the western world extended their political, economic and cultural influence over Africa and over large parts of Asia ... in the larger sense the story is more than the story of rivalry between European imperialisms; it is the story of European aggression and advance in the non-European parts of the world.'

Commentators have identified three broad waves of European colonial and imperial expansion, connected with specific territories. The first targeted the Americas, North and South, as well as the Caribbean. The second focused on Asia, while the third wave extended European control into Africa.
