What countries do traditional powers and emerging powers refer to?

Traditional powers and emerging powers refer to old imperialist countries, such as Britain, America and France. After World War II, they still refer to the United States, Britain and France. After World War II, emerging powers refer to the Soviet Union, Germany and Japan. Today, traditional powers include the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Japan. Now the emerging powers include China, Russian, Indian and Brazil, which are the so-called BRIC countries.

At the stage of imperialism, the economy, production and capital are highly concentrated, and monopoly organizations play a decisive role in economic life; Bank capital and industrial capital are merged into financial capital, and on this basis, a financial oligarchy is formed; Capital export is of great significance; It also formed an international monopoly alliance of capitalists to carve up the world; The largest capitalist power carved up the world territory.

Extended data:

In order to pursue high monopoly profits, excess capital will turn to foreign countries, thus monopolizing the source of raw materials and driving commodity exports. Colonies and dependent countries are economically backward, with low wages, land prices and raw material prices, and low organic composition of capital, so the profit rate is high.

At this time, the development of capitalism has brought these backward areas into the world market, which has promoted the development of commodity economy in these areas, and the construction of infrastructure has also begun, and the investment conditions have initially been met.

Therefore, in the early days of monopoly capitalism, capital export developed rapidly and became a solid foundation for imperialist countries to oppress and enslave most backward countries and regions in the world. The influence of financial capital has expanded from home to abroad, making imperialism a world system under the rule of financial capital.
