Age of Imperialism
The Age of Imperialism refers to the period roughly from the 1870s to World War I (1914), during which European powers, and later Japan and the United States, colonized vast territories across Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Driven by economic desires for raw materials and markets, strategic considerations, and a belief in racial superiority, this era involved political domination, economic exploitation, cultural imposition upon colonized peoples.
