Client states

By the late Nineteenth and early twentieth century, world power such as those of Great Britain , France, The United States and many other powers possessed many spheres of influence. From Hong Kong, South Africa , Panama , The Middle East and Southeast Asia these types of governments and there territories would leave an impact so immense in our daily lives that if a superpower was to lose all its client states , the prices would rise leading to inflation.Over the years the creation of this kind of state has left great impact to the people who inhabit these areas of the world and there mindset leading them to be a potential threat or an ally to the super powers of the world.

A client state is a government that depends on a superpower or empire to aid the country economically , the purpose of the client state is to provide resources to its superior government (the superpower) in exchange of various rewards such as money or high political status.The emergence of the client state can be dated back to the Delian league formed by the city state of Athens. This practice soon was popularize during the age of imperialism and decolonization. the client state as it is known today was beginning to emerge in the nineteen fifties with decolonization in Africa , British India and Southeast Asia.

In which in return the client states will allow foreign companies to exploit the land of civilians and tribesmen to exploit the mineral deposits that an are might contain. Client states are also countries where sweatshops are abundant due to the low cost companies can pay the workers and the high production rate.
