Imperialisme kuno dan modern

Summary

In this video, Arai discusses the differences between ancient and modern imperialism, focusing on the colonization of Indonesia. He explains how ancient imperialism, led by countries like Portugal and Spain, sought to expand territories and spread religion. In contrast, modern imperialism, driven by the industrial revolution in the 19th century, was motivated by economic interests such as the need for raw materials, markets for industrial goods, and the solution to Europe's overpopulation. Arai connects these historical processes to modern global economic practices, highlighting how developing nations are often exploited for resources and markets.
