the white man's burden was a poem that was made by Rudyard Kipling. the white man's burden was when they felt as if they had to help the indians and africans become "civilized"

i think it was unfair because the people that were taken over by the europeans thought they didnt need to be changed. the europeans thought they were helping but the people didnt need help.
