During the late 1800s, European nations engaged in imperialism, seeking control over weaker nations through colonies established centuries prior. The Industrial Revolution further fueled these ambitions, as industrialized nations needed raw materials and markets for their goods. Nationalism and militarism played significant roles as countries aimed to compete for power and establish colonies. The belief in "The White Man's Burden" reflected a perceived obligation to civilize others. This period marked a transformative era in the nature of international relations and colonial dynamics.
