Imperialism is when a country takes over a smaller and less modernized country. Imperialism plays a huge part in history. It is the reason why Africa is divided up the way it is. The economic, political, and social were responsible for the imperialism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Economic Forces consists of natural resources and markets. Shipowners, cotton and iron good makers, makers of armament and uniforms, bankers, and telephone and railway makers all contributed to imperialism.

In the excerpt from American Senator A.J. Beveridge in 1898, he says that the American factories are making and producing more than they are using.

Cecil Rhodes believed very strongly that the Britons were the finest race in the world. He said the more of the world they inhabit the better it would be for the human race (Cecil Rhodes).

It says they have to bind their son’s to exile, and serve their captive’s needs. (Rudyard Kipling)
In conclusion economic, political, and social each have a huge impact in different aspects. The above examples were only some of the examples of the imperialism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Imperialism was a giant problem during that time
