Detailed explanation-1: -In the mid to late 19th century, the European powers colonized much of Africa and Southeast Asia. During the decades of imperialism, the industrializing powers of Europe viewed the African and Asian continents as reservoirs of raw materials, labor, and territory for future settlement.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many countries in the world experienced imperialism when they were taken over and ruled by a more powerful country. The main motive for imperialism was to obtain and control a supply of raw materials for industries. This meant that a weaker country with abundant natural resources would be colonised.
Detailed explanation-3: -The European imperialist push into Africa was motivated by three main factors, economic, political, and social. It developed in the nineteenth century following the collapse of the profitability of the slave trade, its abolition and suppression, as well as the expansion of the European capitalist Industrial Revolution.
Detailed explanation-4: -This New Imperialist Age gained its impetus from economic, military, political, humanitar-ian, and religious reasons, as well as from the development and acceptance of a new theory-Social Darwinism-and advances in technology.
