Detailed explanation-1: -Relation between Imperialism and Industrialisation The period of industrial revolution and British imperialism was from 1750 to 1850. The role of imperialism was to maximize the country’s profits. These industrialized nations went to find nations in which they could exploit natural resources and affordable labour.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Age of Imperialism was a time period beginning around 1870 when modern, relatively developed nations were taking over less developed areas, colonizing them, or influencing them in order to expand their own power.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because the Industrial Revolution increased the production capacity of Western states astronomically, there was an enormous hunger for raw materials to satisfy demands. Thus, the Western powers sought colonies where raw materials were abundant and where they could be appropriated at little to no cost.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus the Industrial Revolution stirred ambitions in many European countries and renewed their confidence to embark on a path of aggressive expansion overseas. From the late 1800s through the early 1900s, Western Europe pursued a policy of imperialism that became known as New Imperialism.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Industrial Revolution of the 1800’s created a need for natural resources to fuel newly invented machinery and transportation. Resources like coal, iron, and rubber were in high demand. Some nations did not have enough raw materials to support their industrialization and looked to other lands to find them.
