Question

question 10 of 28 which of the following best describes a motivation for european imperialism following the industrial revolution? a. to challenge the ideas of socialism b. to exploit natural resources c. to spread democracy d. to develop new technologies

Explanation:

After the Industrial Revolution, European countries needed more raw - materials. Imperialism allowed them to access and exploit natural resources in colonized regions. Socialism was not a primary concern at the time for imperialist expansion. Spreading democracy was not the main motivation as imperialist powers often imposed their rule in non - democratic ways. Developing new technologies was more an outcome of the Industrial Revolution rather than a motivation for imperialism.

Answer:

B. To exploit natural resources
