How Imperialism Transformed the Pacific Rim

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video explores the expansion of Western colonial powers into the Pacific Rim during the age of imperialism. It specifically examines three distinct case studies: the Dutch in the East Indies (modern-day Indonesia), the French in Indochina (specifically Vietnam), and the United States in Hawaii. The narrator guides students through the historical context of each region before colonization, the methods used by foreign powers to gain control, and the resulting economic and social shifts that occurred.
