This text explores the concept of imperialism, focusing on how industrialized nations sought dominance over non-industrialized countries for economic gain. It delves into key motivations for European colonialism in Africa and Asia, including the pursuit of natural resources, markets for goods, and a sense of duty to "civilize" non-White peoples. The Berlin Conference of 1884 is highlighted as a significant moment in the scramble for African territory, where major powers divided the continent, leading to European control over 90% of Africa by 1902.
