European imperialism was driven by four main factors: economic interests, nationalism, a belief in racial superiority, and territorial expansion. The impact of imperialism was profound, as imperial powers encountered diverse political systems in conquered regions, often imposing their own governance models, either through direct or indirect rule. This resulted in significant political, social, and economic changes in colonized societies. Understanding these elements of imperialism helps to grasp the historical complexities of global interactions during this period.
