Also created need for  Imperialism by European powers: created competition over markets and trade.  Advanced military technology: created a strong army and navy.  Nationalism: provided an ideological justification.  Religion: missionaries trying to save souls by converting them were on the front lines of the imperial project.

7 What is Imperialism Again? Under imperialism, stronger nations attempt to create empires by dominating weaker nations – economically, politically, culturally, or militarily. Usually the imperialist country will create “colonies” which are areas under their control that pay them taxes. Colonialism is a form of imperialism.

Protecting American security. Navy – USS Maine. Preserving the “American spirit.” The argument was that U.S. was an adventurous and expanding peoples.
