Social Darwinism held that those made better or worse by industrialization were based on the natural predisposition of the people effected. For those who were made better off, the success of those people demonstrated that they had a well-evolved culture and this expansion would help remove or improve underperforming cultures, which were those "chosen" by the fact that they were performing poorly.
All in all, according to the Social Darwinist, Imperialism was the natural expansion and success of a well-evolved culture and this expansion would help remove or improve underperforming cultures.
They accepted that we had to push out people who were standing in our way.
Social Darwinists justified imperialism by arguing that it was the natural result of the struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. They believed that more advanced nations had a duty to conquer and civilize less advanced societies for their own benefit. This belief system provided a moral justification for exploiting and dominating other nations.
well i have a question regarding the Darwinists i would like to now how they justify expansionism? thank you
Social Darwinists justified imperialism by applying the concept of "survival of the fittest" to human societies, arguing that stronger nations had the right to dominate weaker ones. They believed that imperialism was a natural and necessary process for the advancement of civilization, as it allowed superior races to civilize and uplift those they considered inferior. This ideology often masked economic and political motivations behind imperialistic endeavors, framing them as moral obligations to spread progress and development. Ultimately, Social Darwinism provided a pseudo-scientific rationale for the expansion and exploitation associated with imperialism.
Social Darwinists were people who applied Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection to human society. They believed that competition in society would lead to the survival of the fittest and that this should be applied to social and economic policies. This ideology was used to justify inequalities and oppression in society.

In the 1800�s, Social Darwinists took Darwin�s theory of natural selection and used it to justify imperialism by believing the most ñsocially fitî white races had the divine right to dominate the ñlesser racesî. This belief allowed colonialists to believe that it was right that they should seize and enjoy riches while the inferior races languished in poverty.
