Many causies, factors and conditions give rise to modern Imperialism. They are: The military disparity between the imperialist nation and the invaded country,<\/em> which makes invading nation superior in arms and military organisation to the native peoples whom it conquers and enslaves. For instance, the British conquerors of Mughal India were much superior in arms, equipment, discipline and military organisation than all the native peoples of the sub-continent, whether Muslims or Hindus, Mughals or Marathas, or Afghans or Sikhs. If this disparity is too great, as in the case of the Red Indians and the American settlers or the Bushmen and the Australian colonisers, then the military contest between the two, ends in the physical extermination of the vanquished population.<\/p>
