Explanation:

Imperialism involves the expansion of empires through colonization. In the late 19th century, European powers colonized large parts of Asia and Africa, which is characteristic of imperialism. The other options are incorrect: a worldwide movement towards democracy is not imperialism; industrialization actually increased global trade, not declined it; and nations focusing on internal development rather than expansion is the opposite of imperialism.

Answer:

European powers expanded their empires by colonizing large parts of Asia and Africa.
