In your own words, What was the major cause for imperialism?

Answer 1

Answer:

As mentioned above, imperialism is a system where a large, powerful nation dominates and exploits smaller nations, which are known as colonies. Together, the imperial power and her colonies are known as an empire.

In most cases, the imperial nation is euphemistically referred to as the ‘mother country’. It establishes control over its colonies against their will – for example, through infiltration and annexation, political pressure, war or military conquest. Once control is established, this territory is claimed as a colony.

Colonies are governed by either the imperial nation, a puppet government or local collaborators. A military presence is often stationed in the colony, to maintain order, suppress dissent and uprisings and deter imperial rivals.

Imperialism can have military or geopolitical advantages but its main lure is economic. Colonies exist chiefly to enrich the imperial power. This may involve the supply of precious metals or other resources, such as timber, rubber, rice or other foodstuffs. Colonies can also be invaluable sources of cheap labour, agricultural land and trading ports.
