Answer:
Imperialism is when a country extends its power through military force. America and Europe used imperialism as a way to gain power in the form of wealth and resources. If certain areas of Asia and Africa were gained by European powers, those European powers would be able to control trade and make more profit. With imperialism came consequences though. War, inequality, hunger, unemployment, lack of education, poverty, health risks, environmental damage spread throughout Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe.
