Answer

Before the 1870's the major cause for British Imperialism in Africa was to bring Christianity and European-brand society to African countries. They also practiced imperialism for trade purpose, but very little in Africa. The British economy has always depended deeply on trade, and Britain did want the West Coast of Africa for its palm oil. They took control of it simply because the native political structure was too unstable for good commerce without British management. The British also wanted to bring the English orderly government to Africans and spread christianity.
