 * 1) b. Christianity actually helped imperialism. Christians felt that it was their duty to spread their religion. They saw the natives' religions as pagan, so Catholic and Protestant missionaries traveled throughout the world converting native peoples to Christianity. Their missionaries also imposed European culture on the natives. They believed that the Christian religion and the European forms of government, education, and law would greatly improve the lives of the native people. This Christian Mission justified and motivated 19th Century imperialism; and opened up many unexplored regions for more European imperial activity.
 * 1) Well ladies and gentlemen, I hope we have broadened your horizons on Imperialism in the 18th and 19th centuries.
 * 2) I would again like the thank Matt and Alec for their time on our show as well as invite you back on next week for a special segment on Nationalism.
 * 3) Thank you for watching.

Research: European imperialism was driven by a combination of factors, from a desire for territorial strength, economic opportunities, and political prestige, to the need for cheap supplies to fuel Europe's industrial revolutions. Also significant was the Europeans' sense of duty to Christianize and ‘civilize’ other nations through mission work and the enforcement of European culture and administrative methods.

The industrial revolutions that swept across Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries were a major factor in the acceleration of European imperialism. Industries such as the production of cotton cloth required vast quantities of imported raw materials that could not be grown or produced in Europe. Cotton was grown in India, and the need for a cheap supply contributed to the spread of British interest and control in the region.

In the 1830's the british began to influence india to have a national language as their leaders, and they also did many things like trying to educate indian people which led to the indian's resenting the british. By teaching them british or english as their main language many people of different ethnicities of India to communicate for the first time...This idea of having a common language also caused the change from british imperialism to nationalism.

The opportunity to increase trading opportunities also motivated imperialist ambitions in the 19th century. European nations sought to open up new trade routes that gave them places to sell their goods. In the 19th century the hunt for new markets speeded up as the mass-manufacture of new goods in the industrial revolution increased the amount of trade taking place.

European nations were motivated by competition for power. The prestige of having a great empire was also a key factor motivating European governments and nations. Pride in empire had already proved important in France and the UK, the two most powerful empire-builders, and its importance was demonstrated by the new states of Italy and Germany, who were quick to establish their own empires in the second half of the 19th century.

Justification and motivation for imperialism also came from the belief that the Christian religion and European forms of government, education, and law would improve the lives of the indigenous peoples of Africa, Asia, and Australasia, and that it was, therefore, a duty to spread European civilization. The work of the Christian mission was important for many Europeans who believed the native inhabitants of their nations' empires to be pagan or without true religion. Protestant and Catholic missionaries travelled throughout the world trying to convert indigenous peoples to Christianity. Many of these helped to open up unexplored regions of a continent to European influence and eventual imperial activity.

National Pride, economic competition, the mission to Christianize the world, and the continuing cultural curiosity are reasons for imperialism. The greatest reason though was the drive for money and might.

Imperialism often involved domination of southern regions by more northerly powers. Such as Britain controlling Egypt and India.

Imperialism is the expansion of governing power or influence over other nations or societies. For 19th Century western powers, imperialism was a way of life. France aquired Indochina. Great Britain expanded in India. U.S. aquired the Philippines from Spain. All of Europe fought for control of Africa. Imperialism often took the form of colonialism, with the dominant society exploiting the less powerful one economically while declining to grant self-government or genuine political participation to the colony's inhabitants. In other cases imperialism resulted in the granting of self-government, as Britain did with Canada and Australia, or took the form of coercive influence in weaker nation's affairs. The factors motivation imperialism included the desire for raw materials, markets, and trade routes; competition with other imperial powers; humanitarian and missionary goals; belief in the superiority of one's culture; and the appetite for national pride and prestige.

Imperialism has been around since the early jews and alexzander.After alexzander's death his empire was seperated into 3 different empires ruled by his 3 generals. The Seleucid empire came into power and when the romans were on the verge of invading the empire the ruler tried to change the once free practicing jews to view a more hellenistic way of life.Which meant participating in the gymnasium, and basically saying they believe in gods like zeus and hercules. For this the jews felt insulted and some just som they would not get tortured impersonated greek men. The major problem with this was that some jews did not except this and when greek soliders were sent to enforce this there was a revolt. This is an early example of Imperialism and it' many flaws.When you take people over and make them change their way of life they will not like you. Yet Alexzander used imperialism yet he made it work because he would keep some of his soliders in towns he took over to make families.This ensured safety from future revolts for the most part. He also made the hellenistic way of life and a standard coinage to help all the people interact and trade so this was at a high.So there are many flaws wth imperialism and on a short term bases this is not a good way to govern a people you just conquered.
