Imperialism

Imperialism is the idea of extending the rule and authority of an empire to other nations by aquiring and holding colonies. In the 20th century, European nations dominated the world stage by colonizing areas all over the globe. The greatest imperialist power during the time was Great Britain who extended its rule to India, Africa, China and Southeast Asia. Africa was specifically subject to domination by imperialist powers due to the vast amounts of natural resources.
