The White Man's Burden

The Poem "The White Man's Burden" meant that the The people should be grateful for them controlling them. The conquers thought that were doing the people that they conquered a favor by conquering them and teaching them to be more civilized and teach them to eat properly. For example Bush has been trying to reorder the Iraqi government, which gets the Iraqi people more made at the Americans. We are still living in the White Man's Burden today because of Bush and American Government. Most countries like Iraq and America try to to control other countries because they want to their government, their trade routes, and maybe because of Environmental reasons
