In this video Heimler walks you through Unit 6 Topic 5 (6.5) of AP World History. And this one is all about Economic Imperialism. As a concept, imperialism is when one country brings another under its political dominion. Economic imperialism is when that happens not politically, but economically.

Britain exercised this kind of imperialism in India by shifting their main export economy to cotton. They also did it in China as a result of the Opium Wars. After China's defeat in that series of conflicts, other industrial powers wanted in on the boom boom too and so they carved up China into spheres of influence—each power had exclusive trading rights in their particular sphere.

If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler will answer them forthwithly.
