British Imperialism in China
"The primary motive of British imperialism in China in the nineteenth century was economic. There was a high demand for Chinese tea, silk and porcelain in the British market." In this article it explains how British took over there lands due to the economic basis, and fought which caused WWI. This reminds me of Avatar because, the Marines thought they had the power, and the Na'vi people didn't let themselves fail anymore and helped each other out as a nation.

Review of the Imperialism on “Avatar”
Jake Sully had a twin brother who got killed due too being a marine. Jake sully decides to go to Pandora to fill in for his brother since they have the same dna. Pandora was a forest , "planet" of the Na'vi people. Colonel Miles Quaritch was the leader of the military force and has a personal hatred for the Na'vi people. Jake goes into this avatar body and goes into Pandora to see how the Na'vis live there lives. As time passed he started learning many things from the Na'vi people and started changing physically and emotionally which caused Colonel Quaritch to get angry at him. Colonel decides to bomb there planet and they end up having a war. Which is comparable to how Europeans would take power of Africa , India etc.
