Question

Which was not used to justify European imperialism in the late nineteenth century?

democratic reform

social Darwinism

a new wave of nationalism

a belief in European superiority

Answer 1

The correct answer should be a new wave of nationalism

European superiority and social Darwinism were pretty common and widespread. Democratic reform was presented as a wish to make a utopia, a country developed and where everyone was equal, but that was a lie as they only wanted to increase their empires.
