Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the late 1800s through the early 1900s, Western Europe pursued a policy of imperialism that became known as New Imperialism. By 1870, it became necessary for European industrialized nations to expand their markets globally in order to sell products that they could not sell domestically on the continent.
