Explanation:

To answer these fill - in - the - blank questions about imperialism, we rely on knowledge of historical concepts related to imperialism.

1. For the first blank under "European nations...", the concept of "Nationalism" (as it shifted to national superiority and drove competition) or "Imperialism" itself (the drive to expand) could be relevant, but more context from lecture notes is needed.
2. For "Many looked to ____ as a solution", colonies or imperialism - related expansion (like colonizing new lands) is a likely answer, based on the context of European nations seeking markets and power.
3. For the section about what helped developed countries maintain control, concepts like "Technology" (e.g., better weapons, communication) or "Infrastructure" could be relevant, along with the "colonies" they were controlling.
4. In "THE SCRAMBLE FOR AFRICA", European countries invaded "Africa" (as the title suggests). The "Berlin Conference" (1884) was the event that came from European competition. It included 14 "European" countries, had no "African" representation, intended to ease "competition/conflict", European countries agreed they only needed to "control" an area to claim it, and by 1914, the "Scramble for Africa" divided all of "Africa".

Since the problem is about historical aspects of imperialism, the subfield of "History" (under Social Science) is the most applicable. To get exact answers, one would use the provided lecture notes on imperialism to fill in the blanks with the correct historical terms.

Answer:

(The answers would be filled using lecture notes. For example, some likely answers based on historical knowledge:

• Under "European nations...": "Nationalism" (for the first blank), "colonies" (for the second blank)
• For the control section: "Technology" (or other relevant term) helped developed countries maintain control of their "colonies"
• In "THE SCRAMBLE FOR AFRICA": European countries invaded "Africa"; the event was the "Berlin Conference" (1884); included 14 "European" countries; no "African" representation; intended to ease "competition"; show they could "control" it; by 1914, countries in the "Scramble for Africa" divided all of "Africa"

But the exact answers depend on the lecture notes provided.)
