Page "Imperialism" Paragraph 38

This form of imperialism can also be seen in British Columbia, Canada.

In the 1840s, the territory of British Columbia was divided into two regions, one space for the native population, and the other for non-natives.

The indigenous peoples were often forcibly removed from their homes onto reserves.

These actions were “ justified by a dominant belief among British colonial officials that land occupied by Native people was not being used efficiently and productively .”
