Conclusion:

The European Imperialism was a period were Europe wanted to increase in territory by colonizing another country. When a country gained more power is gonna be easier to increase their armies, with more power a country can control another country using the Imperialist system. The Imperialist Countries wants to have the total control of all their colonies, that’s why they wont give them the enough recognition so they wont have democracy or any political right to influenced in the decition of the Imperialist Countries. By this way, Imperialist Countries would have the total control of the colony and would gained more power. A country that has a lot of colonies is a very powerful country and that is what Imperialist Countries wants.

Characteristics of the government system imposed by the imperialist countries and presence or absence of democracy.

During the time of imperialism there were 4 types of government used in the colonies, the first one was:
-Colonial imperialism: This from is vital takeover of an area, with domination in all areas: economic, political, and socio-cultural. The subjugated area existed to benefit the imperialist power, and had almost no independence of action. In this era, almost all of Africa and southern and southeast Asia were colonized.

-Economic imperialism: This form of imperialism allowed the area to operate as its own nation, but the imperialist nation almost completely controlled its trade and other business. For example, it may impose regulations that forbid trade with other nations, or imperialist companies may own or have exclusive rights to its natural resources. During this era, China and most of Latin America were subjected to economic imperialism. 

-Political imperialism:  Although a country may have had its own government with natives in top political positions, it operated as the imperialist country told it to. The government was sometimes a relatively permanent "puppet government," as happened in late Qing China, and other times the control was temporary, as occurred in the Dominican Republic when the United States ran its government until it got out of debt.

-Socio-cultural imperialism: The dominating country deliberately tried to change customs, religions and languages in some of the countries. A good example was British India, where English was taught in schools, Indian soldiers dressed British-style, and western trading rules were set up. Generally, the imperialist countries assumed their cultures to be superior, and often times they saw themselves as bringing about improvements in the society.  (Historyhaven.com, 2015)
 

The relation of the subject with the democracy is not very clear because in all the forms of systems that the empires had, they controlled mostly all the tarde and also the government but not in a very direct way, the moves that the empire did were focused on getting more money and natural resources, but at the end the colonies  up rise in arms so they could be their own countries, so that means that it led to democracy in a way. 

How Imperialism is related with monopoly capitalism?

Monopoly capitalism is when a powerful country colonize another country and exploted them and take all of them resources, so then they can sell it as if where of them and the colonized country just can export from the powerful country.

Characteristics of the government system within the imperialist countries, presence or absence of democracy.

Imperialism as we know was encouraged by the desire of this countries to get power. Almost all of them were capitalists, and wanted also economic growth. These countries were empires and wanted to extract natural resources for their own goods. So when they colonized other countries, they had all the power above people, and treated them as slaves in some occasions. The monopoly capitalism was also present in that period of time. There was a clear absence of democracy, because empires imposed authority and had all the power, leaving people without any chance of deciding how they wanted their government to be.

The presence of democracy is weird because the imperialist country had the power, but let the colony believe that in a way they had their own government and that the imperialist country only somehow had all the economy and the natural resources. (Jobson, 2014)

What were the reasons why the European powers launched an unprecedented conquest?

1. The first origins attributed to purely economic imperialism. The need for raw materials for European industry, markets to sell the manufactures of the metropolis and investment sectors for capital surpluses were, according to this hypothesis, the main reasons for the expansion. To this economic protectionism, which had been imposed in many countries as a result of depression of the 70s and had reduced the available markets it is added.

2. The second explanation considers imperialism as a result of the growing European nationalism. Colonies were considered symbols of prestige against other nations, and served to feed power in the country.

3. The third explanation sees the division of the world that came from the '80s was a continuation of the expansionary trend of the first part of the century. The European exercised control over some areas needed reinforced through annexations, because of the crisis generated in the regions subjected product from foreign domination.

4. The fourth explanation considers the systematic occupation and the sharing of certain regions of the sharp demand for colonies, initiated by Otto von Bismarck and continued by Guillermo II were due, since Germany had come to the colonial race delayed with respect to France and England. German Chancellor regarded the colonies as a useful tool for trading in European conflicts. The enormous demands placed on colonial matters spurred other countries to launch into a frantic race to occupy territories, earning hand to the other powers.

 5. The fifth explaniation its that Europe was the continet with more strong countries, so thats way they had most of the colonies and also because that give power,  better economy and natural resources .
