This imperialism became a more sophisticated manner to gain a military and economic advantage to the European powers amongst themselves. The imperialism resulted prior to and after the 1800's. Generally termed colonialism, it placed Great Britain as the foremost world power. As it was said, The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire. This advantage however was not set in stone as Napoleon controlled most of Europe before his ultimate defeat at Waterloo.
