1. The words of this poem have been used to support the practice of imperialism.

"The White Man's Burden" is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling in 1899 that was widely popularized during the era of European imperialism. The poem encourages the "white man" (i.e., European colonial powers) to take on the burden of bringing civilization and enlightenment to the "uncivilized" peoples of the world. The poem has been criticized for its paternalistic and racist tone, as it suggests that the "white man" is superior to other cultures and is justified in imposing its values and way of life on others. The poem has been used to justify imperialism and the colonization of other countries by European powers.
