why was the white man's burden a big part of the colonization of africa

Question

TETSXPREME · Answer

''Take up the White Man's burden,'' was Rudyard Kipling's notorious prescription for the United States as it began to rule the Philippine Islands. From an 1899 poem, that refrain eventually became a key exhibit in the case against the racism and exploitation of 19th-century imperialism. https://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/26/books/kipling-knew-what-the-us-may-now-learn.html
