Answer:

The economic benefits of an imperialistic agenda:

-Creation of businesses that take place in a colony and focuses on exporting natural resources.

-Has a direct market towards any colonies and an advantage over other countries within that region.

-May control certain strategic trade routes (Example: the Suez Canal in Eygpt that was held by the British Empire)

-Those natural resources brought back to the homeland would benefit local businesses that need natural resources to make their products.

Imperialism (the act of extending rule over people and countries) benefits many countries in many ways like expanding foreign commerce and this can also expand the domestic economy for each country

Hope this helps
