"The White Man's Burden"
The White Man's Burden is a poem that the englishes who recited it express themselves in a very conceided kind of way by saying in very specific details that all white men have a burden of "fixing" other races. In other words since the Europeans back then thought they were the first and perfect race, they were the correct ones and anybody who did something different than them was weird. They considered Imperialism a favor for other coutries, their strategy was to go to other countries and say : hey if u give us your resources we will teach you how to be like us! so like that the would have all the resources and think of themselves as gods. So basically in the poem the whites are just saying that they carry a burden of "civilizing" other nations.
