Imperialism Motives


Imperialism is intended to make everyone the same by spreading common morals and beliefs. This allows for no cultural differences between separate groups of people.
Nations such as France and Great Britain succeeded at imperialism by forming colonies in Africa including French West Africa or Britain East Africa. There are many motives of imperialism. A few of these are, Economic, Ideological motives, and religious motives. The reason money is a drive of imperialism is because in other nations, labor can be done at a lesser expense. Ideological is a motive because people who believe they are superior want to spread their ideas and ways of life to the so called "savages". Religion causes imperialism because the British want to convert everyone to Christianity.
