IMPERIALISM• The extension of a nation’s power over
other lands.(One country’s domination of the political,
economic, and social life of another country)

Why be an Imperialist?1. Political rivalries/Prestige– European countries needed colonies to
compete with other Europeans.2. Desire for New Markets/Economics– New territory to get raw materials and sell
finished goods.3. Seeking New Opportunities– Native Europeans could advance socially by
taking an assignment in a colony4. “Civilizing Mission”/Racism– Some Europeans thought it was their duty to
impose their culture on other, less “civilized” peoples.
