Causes of Imperialism
Causes of Imperialism In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, imperialism- a force of a
greater nation that controls a smaller, weaker nation- began to take over
many parts of the world in a frenzy. The more dominant countries at the
time, such as the United States and many European countries began
extending their influence to areas all over the world, from the Phillipines
(which would be 56.5% controlled) to the Africa (which would be 90.4%
controlled) , because they felt their "nations' will to power" was the best.
(Document 3) England began showing signs of wanting to control other
nations, because this meant that there would be more trade with other
countries. Imperialism meant more trade with other countries, and more
trade meant more money. The more money meant that the country had
more money to invest in industrialization. Industrialization also meant that
buyers and customers had to be found in which to sell their products-
another benefit of imperialism. Lastly, raw materials could be obtained
cheaply, as could cheap labor. Because the English were The
machinerization of England's factories did not only change England's
economy, it changed the world. They were the first in the entire world to
experience things like materlialistic benefits, and social pricetags of
industrialization. This had happened for several reasons. England had
good transportation, an abundant labor supply, inventions that
revolutionized the manufacturing of many products (mostly the textile
industry), and a stable government. All of a sudden, factories were making
things so quickly, so efficiently, that more and more materials were
needed. Although certain machines and inventions helped, it simply wasn't
enough. There was a very big piece of the manufacturing process
missing, a piece that would improve England's manufacturing even
further. And that was
