6. How did Western nations come to dominate much of the world in the late 1800s?
Great Britain and other Western countries built overseas empires in the late 1800s. Advances in science and technology, industry, transportation, and communication gave these industrialized nations many advantages.
Armed with new economic and political power, Western nations set out to dominate the world.

7. In the late 1800s, Western imperialism expanded aggressively.
Imperialism is the domination by one country of the political, economic, or cultural life of another country or region.
Although Europeans had established colonies earlier, they had previously had little direct influence over people in China, India, or Africa.

8. Forces Behind the “New Imperialism” Political and military needs
Economic needs
New sources of raw materials
New markets to sell goods
New ventures and enterprises
Political and military needs
Naval refueling bases
Stopping the expansion of rivals
Promoting national security and prestige
Aggressive national pride, known as jingoism, fueled competition for colonies.

9. Imperialism was also driven by genuine humanitarian and religious goals.
Missionaries, doctors, and colonial officials saw it as their duty to spread the blessings of Western civilization.
These benefits included medicine, law, and the Christian religion.

10. As a result, many non-Westerners lost their cultural heritage.
Social Darwinists applied Darwin’s theory of natural selection to societies.
They saw imperialism as nature’s way of improving the human race.
Behind the West’s civilizing mission was also a sense of racial superiority.
As a result, many non-Westerners lost their cultural heritage.

11. Imperialist nations developed several ways to rule their colonies.
France generally ruled directly.
French administrators were sent.
The goal was to impose French culture.
Britain generally ruled indirectly.
Local rulers were left in charge.
The children of the ruling class were educated in England.
The goal was to groom or “Westernize” future leaders.

12. Two other forms of rule were through protectorates and spheres of influence.
Local leaders were kept in office.
Colonial advisors told them what to do.
This method was less costly.
Spheres of influence
Colonial powers claimed exclusive right to trade or invest in a particular area.
The goal was to prevent conflict with other colonial powers.
