Question

Evaluate the extent to which various ideologies contributed to the development of European and American imperialism from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.

Answer 1

European and American imperialism arose from the influence of ideologies that stated that industrialized nations should dominate less industrialized nations in order to obtain more resources for their industrial production.

Step-by-step explanation:

The European and American imperialism that emerged during the 19th and 20th centuries was characterized by the economic domination of the less industrialized and more agrarian nations in Asia, South America and Africa, by the European nations and the USA, which were highly industrialized nations. This domain guaranteed the full exploitation of raw materials for industry and allowed less industrialized nations to become dependent on what was manufactured in the US and Europe, thus creating cultural, social, political and economic domination.

Imperialism was not peaceful, it generated a lot of poverty and problems in the countries subjected to it.
