Question

which of the following are characteristics of european imperialism? choose 4 answers.

□ military conquest

□ missionary activity

□ moral superiority

□ fascism

□ exploitation of natural resources

□ higher education opportunities

Explanation:

1. Military conquest: European powers often used military force to take over territories, so this is a characteristic.
2. Missionary activity: Spreading religion (via missionaries) was part of imperial efforts to impose their culture, so this counts.
3. Moral superiority: Europeans often believed their culture/values were superior, justifying imperialism.
4. Exploitation of natural resources: Imperial powers exploited colonies' resources for their own gain.

"Fascism" is not a characteristic of traditional European imperialism (it's a 20th - century ideology), and "Higher education opportunities" were not a primary characteristic (education was often limited or for colonial elites, not a defining imperial trait).

Answer:

A. Military conquest, B. Missionary activity, C. Moral superiority, E. Exploitation of natural resources
