How did imperialism help to shape patterns and practices of cultural?

Imperialism helped to shape patterns and practices of culture through imposing the culture of the imperial countries.

Explanation:

Imperialism took place in the majority of the world. Multiple countries were involved in this process, with some being more dominant than others. The countries that were the biggest imperial powers and thus had the biggest influence were the British Empire, France, and Spain.

Not just these three imperial powers, but the others as well, had a tendency to impose their own cultural traits in the conquered and controlled territories. Some of the main things that were imposed were the language, religion, and function of the institutions. Over time this led to the native people adopting these traits, some willingly some by force, so parts of the world that are thousands of miles away developed cultural practices that are the same or very close to the imperial power that ruled over them.
