• During the time period of industrialization and the spread of imperialism, European attitudes towards non-Europeans were often characterized by a sense of racial and cultural superiority. Many Europeans viewed non-Europeans as inferior and believed in the concept of "the white man's burden," which justified their imperialistic actions as a duty to civilize and educate non-European societies. This mindset contributed to the exploitation and subjugation of many non-European regions during the era of imperialism.
• Modernization in China included industrialization, urbanization, and the adoption of Western technology and ideas.
