More Than 100 Years Later, the World I Live In Still Displays the Impact of the New Imperialism

Imperialism is still apparent in the modern world even though most people wouldn't think so at first. For example Africa used to be a land filled with powerful empires but since Imperialism, has been going downhill. Now, nine out of the ten poorest countries in the world are in Africa.
A good remnant of the reign of Imperialism that can be seen today is the Suez Canal. If Imperialism never occurred we might not of had this shortcut through our waters.
Another sign still remaining is that the countries that were taken over in those times are still mostly having problems and arguably may be worse off than they were before. And the countries that dominated those struggling countries are still economically dominant.
