Question

which action is an example of imperialism?
russias massive growth in armed forces
great britains establishment of colonies in africa
italys encouragement of devotion to country
germanys promise to protect other countries in wartime

Explanation:

Imperialism is the policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means. Great Britain's establishment of colonies in Africa is a classic example of imperialism as it involves the acquisition and control of foreign territories for economic, political, and strategic interests. Russia's growth in armed forces could be part of militarism, Italy's encouragement of devotion to country relates more to nationalism, and Germany's promise to protect other countries in wartime might be part of alliance - building or a different geopolitical strategy.

Answer:

Great Britain's establishment of colonies in Africa.
