"White man's burden" is the social factor that influenced American imperialism. This term, popularized by Rudyard Kipling's poem, reflected the belief held by some in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that it was the duty of white, Western nations to civilize and uplift the people in non-Western parts of the world. This ideology was used to justify intervention and imperialism in various regions under the guise of moral responsibility.
