It suggested that powerful countries had the right to rule over weaker countries.
The concept of the white man's burden was used in the late 19th century to justify imperialism by suggesting that it was the duty of Western nations to civilize and uplift the so-called "inferior" peoples of colonized regions. This ideology was used to mask and legitimize the exploitation and subjugation of indigenous populations in the name of progress and humanitarianism.

Social Darwinism was the idea that different societies and races compete for survival in a similar way to species in nature, with the fittest coming out on top. This concept was used to justify European imperialism in Asia and Africa by suggesting that it was not only beneficial but also natural for superior European nations to dominate and exploit weaker non-European societies.
For Europe to rule Asia by force for purposes of gain, and to justify that rule by the pretence that she is civilizing Asia and raising her to a higher level of spiritual life, will be adjudged by history, perhaps, to be the crowning wrong and folly of Imperialism.

Social Darwinism is a idea that is similar to survival of the fittest. They used this idea to and divide preexisting areas or territories.
They didn't, Imperialism is a justification in of its self. The idea that the conquering of savage ignorant and uncivlised cultures in the glorious name of your home land, hardly an original idea.
Europeans used science to justify imperialism through ideas such as Social Darwinism, which argued that certain races and societies were biologically superior to others. They also used anthropology to classify and rank different cultures, providing a framework to justify European domination and colonization of "lesser" societies. Additionally, Europeans used advances in technology and medicine to portray themselves as more advanced and capable of bringing progress and civilization to the "uncivilized" populations they sought to control.
