Imperialism grew out of industrialization because the industrialized countries needed a steady supply of raw materials. They accomplished this by setting up colonies and exploiting them for resources.
The 19th century European imperialism was mainly caused by the desperate need of nations to secure their acquired territories and colonies. Also, they needed to strengthen their military forces to defend against possible invasion.
They thought they were going to live there forever
Latin American countries were not industrialized but produced raw materials - agricultural, timber, metals and so on. The European countries needed these for their continuous wars and since the second half of the 18th century, for their industrialization efforts. So, European countries imported these commodities, returning processed goods to pay for them. The profits remained in Europe and Latin America remained undeveloped.
Colonialism and the Industrial Revolution are interconnected, as the latter created a demand for raw materials and new markets, driving European powers to expand their empires. Colonies provided essential resources like cotton, rubber, and minerals needed for industrial production, while also serving as markets for manufactured goods. This exploitation facilitated economic growth in industrialized nations, further entrenching colonial practices and leading to significant social and economic changes globally. Ultimately, the Industrial Revolution both fueled and was sustained by colonial ambitions.
Imperialism grew out of industrialization because the industrialized countries needed a steady supply of raw materials. They accomplished this by setting up colonies and exploiting them for resources.
Industrialized nations obtained raw materials through a combination of colonization, trade, and exploitation of natural resources. Colonies provided a direct source of essential materials, such as cotton, rubber, and minerals, often extracted through forced labor. Additionally, nations engaged in global trade networks, importing resources from less developed regions. The demand for raw materials fueled economic and political power, leading to conflicts and competition among industrialized countries.
Colonies were so important to European nations b/c of trade possibilities. Also colonies supplied the raw materials that the ruling countries needed to produce goods in their factories back home. Also some colonies were important markets for manufactured goods.
