examine the economic motivations and consequences of overseas expansion, imperialism, colonialism. Provide clear place and time markers. Do not write about other motivations that may or may not have played a role. You want to limit yourself to the economic aspects of the issue. You can look at the motivations of those who “expanded,” “colonized,” or created “empires” or look at the consequencs for those who were sujugated, colonized, or exploited or both.
