During periods of colonization, imperial powers often employed terms like "pacification," "civilizing mission," or "manifest destiny" to describe their actions.These terms, often used by imperial forces, were intended to shape narratives in their favor. For example, the term "pacification" might be used to justify military actions that suppress resistance but may not accurately represent the experiences or perspectives of the colonized populations. The power dynamics involved in framing narratives can influence how historical events are perceived. #Example of Power Dynamics and Imperial Narratives
