Question

Which of the following best describes how imperial power shifted during the last half of the 19th century? Places like Africa became more industrialized and politically powerful as they developed economically under imperialistic policies. Spain declined as a global power, while new players such as the United States emerged as global powers in Latin America and Asia. Mass nationalism led Britain to focus on internal issues for improvement, and imperial power in general began to recede. The resurgence of the Ottoman Empire forced Western powers to cope with new political realities.

Answer 1

New Imperialism, period of intensified imperialistic expansion from the latter half of the 19th century until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. The renewed push to expand territorial control included not only the earlier colonial powers of western Europe but also newcomers such as Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, and the United States

Answer 2

Spain declined as a global power, while new players such as the United States emerged as global powers in Latin America and Asia.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this is correct because as Spain declined in power, the US rose. Also following the Spanish-American War in 1898, quickly emerged as new imperial powers in East Asia and in the Pacific Ocean area.
