The expansion saw Europeans occupy or control 38% of the world in 1800. By 1878, the figure rose to a staggering 67%. Finally by 1914, European expansionism rose to where 84 % of the world was either occupied or controlled by European powers.

Define imperialism as it existed in the 1800s?
Eurpoean Imperialism, where a country extends its influence and culture through trade, diplomacy, and military, had been steadily growing since the late 1400's, when countries started to acquire colonies. Colonies eventually became part of empires, Britain's being the largest and most affluent in the 1800's. Before empires were built, however, the forces of Nationalism within various European states caused them to attempt to expand borders and commerce at the expense of their neighbors. The rise of the British Empire in the mid 1800's and earlier, the expansion of France under Napoleon in the late 1700's, induced other European powers, notably Germany and Italy, to consolidate and develop their own brand of Nationalism, then acquire their own colonies as their own form of Imperialism. This competition among the major European Powers, inside and outside of Europe, finally resulted in major conflict in 1914 causing the First World War.
