Motivations of Imperialism
· The European Nations during the 19th century did not just want absolute power.
· The industrial revolutions were a major motivation of European imperialism. Important raw materials such as cotton that was grown in Indian was also I major factor because cotton could not be produced in Europe.
· Any opportunity that Europe had to increase trade they quickly acted upon it.
· Other than the competition for trade, having power was a big factor
· Religion was a motive so they could spread Christianity.
· The last motive was to explore places that have not been explored yet.
