Define imperialism as it existed in the 1800s and then explain why Europeans believed it was important?

Imperialism is when a nation colonizes another nation or territory. The Europeans believed that imperialism was important because they said that it was their responsibility to civilize those who they believed were inferior to them and because they wanted the other nations' resources.

What was not a major cause of European imperialism in the 1800s - Limiting American influence in Africa Expanding the European slave trade Population overcrowding in Europe?

Of those three options, "Limiting American influence in Africa" is the least connected with European Imperialism, but it is worth noting that the others are also minimally connected . The US did not have any serious influence in Africa prior to the mid-1800s and was not attempting to strengthen connections between the US and Africa (especially after the US banned the slave trade in 1807). As a result, the Europeans were not worried about American influence in Africa to the extent that they would want to limit it."Population Overcrowding in Europe" led to an increased desire to settle other places, but it did not lead to imperialism per se. "Expanding the European slave trade" is also not really a reason for European Imperialism since, by the mid-1800s, most European countries had banned slavery, but as late as the early 1800s, a number of European countries were still trying to expand their African slavery networks.
