ABSTRACT
I COLONIZATION might have diminished the inequality in extent, strength, and resources which many countries resented. It did nothing of the sort. It raised some and lowered others.It added new problems of its own. Daughter states have matured quickly and demanded self-government; native dependencies under European control have followed their example, though hardly any of them have yet completed this course, for they have, so to speak, been shoved off their lines of development by the might of the conqueror and forced into uncongenial ways.
