Conclusion: 2:22:41
*China/Korea excluded - will be covered in depth in future videos
*WW1/WW2 excluded - will be covered in depth in future videos
*Slavery/Indigenous Nations excluded - covered in depth in future videos
*Specifically focus on US Imperialism (British etc... excluded)
*More focus on military intervention as the final outcome of imperialism - but it should be recognized that imperialism is much more than just military interventions and coups, it is an economic system that functions to keep the world poor so a few elites can stay rich. But it is in these egregious examples we can reflect on the extent to which the capitalist class will go to prolong their decay in a ruthless international class war.
2021 Update - Revolutionary victory in Peru!
