Question

the main goal of imperialists in africa was:

a. to let africans decide who controlled the land.

b. to control more territory without going to war.

c. to provide government services to the natives.

d. to introduce democracy to africa.

Explanation:

Imperialism involves extending a country's power through territory control. Option A is wrong as imperialists sought control, not letting Africans decide. Option C: Imperialists focused on exploiting resources, not providing services. Option D: Democracy wasn't the goal; they aimed at territorial and resource control. Option B aligns with imperialist goals of expanding territory, often via diplomacy/negotiation to avoid war (e.g., Berlin Conference) to partition Africa.

Answer:

B. To control more territory without going to war.
