Detailed explanation-1: -What did imperialist countries hope to gain by using economic imperialism? They sought raw materials and new markets to sell manufactured goods, but they didn’t want to colonize countries or territories.
Detailed explanation-2: -ECONOMIC motives included the desire to make money, to expand and control foreign trade, to create new markets for products, to acquire raw materials and cheap labor, to compete for investments and resources, and to export industrial technology and transportation methods.
Detailed explanation-3: -Imperialist ambitions pushed for the economic exploitation of colonized nations to benefit the mother country. As imperial states began controlling the economy of the colonized territory, interests for the welfare of the colonized peoples had little influence in defining their economic policies.
