In this salmon color, you see where the British have control in much of South Africa and then around Egypt and Sudan and parts of East Africa.

You have India, part of the British Empire. Even Japan, which is one of the first Asian countries to industrialize, is in on imperialism. It has control in Korea and in Taiwan. So why this kind of imperialism?
