Imperialism would benefit the economies of the colonial powers. </div><div><br /></div><div>The statement that best expressed the motive for nineteenth-century European imperialism is that
imperialism would benefit the economies of the colonial powers. During the Age of Imperialism, a global
economy developed. From the industrialized European nations’ mass-produced goods, investment capital
was directed to the colonies. In return, the people of Asia and Africa provided natural resources and cheap
labor. Rubber, copper, and gold came from Africa, cotton and tin from southwest Asia. These raw materials
spurred the growth of European industries and financial markets. The colonies also provided new markets
for the finished products of the Industrial Revolution. Tools, weapons, and clothing flowed out of the
factories and back to the colonies, whose raw materials had made them possible. Although imperialists
argued that living space was needed for the excess population of Europe, no European country after 1870
acquired any colony to which European families wished to move in large numbers. The millions who left in
the late nineteenth century persisted in heading for the Americas, where there were no European colonies. </div><div><br /></div><div>Imperialism was not an effective method of reducing the number of wars. In 1896, Ethiopia defeated Italy
in its attempt to conquer the region. In 1898, Great Britain and France almost went to war over the Sudan
in Africa. In 1905, Germany and France clashed over Morocco. European countries believed that Western
civilizations were superior to the civilizations of colonial people. Colonial officials rejected the cultures of
the conquered peoples and tried to impose Western customs and traditions on the colonies. European
countries did not establish democratic governments in Asia and Africa, but instead ruled directly or
indirectly through local rulers without the consent of the people. </div></div>Gabrielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00946274952438743791noreply@blogger.com0
