Historical imperialism was a practice most commonly used by Europeans in the late 19th century and continues to influence the societies upon which it was imposed to the present day. These societies – usually made up of indigenous peoples in Canada, Africa, Sudan and many other places – were oppressed until some of their cultural beliefs and practices were lost forever, which significantly affects them today. Furthermore, treaties were made that may have been short-term solutions back then, but were in no way long-term solutions and so now there are ongoing issues relating to land claims that the government has refused to resolve.

For some countries, responding to the legacies of historical imperialism is not necessary, since their standard of living has been excellent thanks to these legacies. But for others, answering the right way is a complex question, and the vast number of opinions on what should be done only complicates the situation further..
