A part of what I'm discussing would be the Industrial revolution. This period was about translating our methods over from agriculture to mass production through manufacturing our goods in factories and something leaning more towards the heavy industry. This new way of doing things brought its own problems. We needed more space and more supplies so the civilians could live better. We continued to grow and were focusing on manufacturing things, but our life force remained dependent on food and raw materials from foreign lands (Document A).

Basically taking in people as slaves to do our dirty work. This would be an act of imperialism with an economic motive and that's how the industrial revolution acted as fuel to this imperialism …show more content…

This is relatively early and the continuation of this type of progress until the first airplane in 1903 just goes to show that this was a time of great innovation. The thing about this is that as these countries are spending money to fund these creations they need still need revenue. It was another case of an economic motive for imperialism. For the sake of capital surplus and surplus goods to satisfy the needs of the people living in their home region they had to expand and explore.

We have to travel and see the status of the societies around the world and so those in a better position will have a form of pity in which they bring their advanced societies equipment into their world. Those who partook in imperialism would make It their responsibility to modernize neighboring ancient
