Question

question 11 of 20 how was imperialism after the industrial revolution similar to imperialism in earlier periods of history? a. in both forms, europeans dominated cultures on all other continents. b. in both forms, empires used social darwinism to justify their conquests. c. in both forms, powerful countries dominated weaker ones for economic gains. d. in both forms, military conquest played a much smaller role than economic control.

Explanation:

• Option A: Earlier periods of imperialism weren't solely European - for example, there were empires like the Mongol or Persian empires. So this is incorrect.
• Option B: Social Darwinism was a concept mainly used during the later imperialist period after the Industrial Revolution, not in earlier history. So this is wrong.
• Option C: In both pre - Industrial Revolution imperialism (like the Roman Empire expanding for resources and trade) and post - Industrial Revolution imperialism (European powers seeking raw materials and markets), powerful countries dominated weaker ones to gain economically. This is correct.
• Option D: In earlier imperialism, military conquest was a major factor (e.g., Roman military conquests), so this statement is false.

Answer:

C. In both forms, powerful countries dominated weaker ones for economic gains.
