Questions for furthering discussion:
In what ways would the geographical context of the world be different without imperialism?

6. Old versus New Imperialism
OLD: The three motivating factors of this period, “God, gold, and glory,” (pre industrialization) gave imperial nations three key reasons for expanding their global reach and setting up colonies to rule over indigenous peoples in settled lands
NEW: New imperialism began in the late 1870’s - because of industrialization, countries needed more raw materials to keep their technologies going – countries were motivated by Nationalism to spread their way of life to other colonies. This was also sometimes done as a means for gaining prestige on the world stage.
