3. Views of Imperialism Imperialism was considered a right and an obligation by most Americans and Europeans in the late 1800’s (who could give those nations what “civilized” people had).

People from the west were usually “shocked” by what they saw if they left their parts of the world. People from the west were usually “shocked” by what they saw if they left their parts of the world.

6. Progress Under Imperialism (Medicine) There were many new scientific discoveries at this time in history. There were many new scientific discoveries at this time in history. It was found out that being clean improved health (along with clean drinking water and disposing of wastes properly).

Louis Pasteur (French chemist) developed a way to kills germs in milk and other products (pasteurization).

7. By pasteurizing food, the set goal is to destruct certain diseases that carry germs and to extend the shelf life of the shelved products. Milk is heated to temperatures of 145 degrees to 150 degrees F. for at least a half and hour then reduce the temperature to not more than 55 degrees F.

8. Progress Under Imperialism (Public Health) We’ve already seen what diseases like smallpox can do (wipe out entire cities or even entire cultures in Latin America).
