Do you think that the New Imperialism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was inevitable?

New Imperialism was the era when colonization by Europe, America and Japan were rampant. This era occurred in the 19th and early 20th century. It was truly inevitable to happen because these powerful countries were curious to colonize unknown territories to expand their resources and their jurisdiction. Men are never satisfied with what they have. It is only natural for men to aim endless success. It only takes curiosity, courage and innovation for colonization to start. They already have enough resources in soldiers and weapons.

It was. The countries that were under new imperialist rule were countries that wanted to gain independence from their former colonizers. Those who helped them like the US or Britain exploited the situation by helping the countries and later placing the people that suited them as rulers of those countries.
