First wave Imperialism, primarily occurring from the 15th to the 19th centuries, refers to the European expansion and colonization driven by the quest for new trade routes, resources, and territories. This period saw major powers like Spain, Portugal, France, and Britain establishing colonies in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. It was characterized by the establishment of trade empires, the exploitation of indigenous populations, and the spread of European culture and religion. The motivations included economic gain, national prestige, and the desire to spread Christianity.
Only the second wave was motivated by a need for natural resources for industrialization.
A major difference between the first and second waves of European imperialism lies in their motivations and methods. The first wave, from the late 15th to the 18th century, was primarily driven by exploration, trade, and the spread of Christianity, focusing on the Americas and parts of Asia. In contrast, the second wave, during the late 19th to early 20th century, was characterized by industrialization and competition for resources, leading to the aggressive colonization of Africa and Asia, often justified by a sense of racial superiority and the desire for strategic dominance. Additionally, the second wave saw more direct political control and administration over colonies.
Gandhi defied British Imperialism, first in South Africa, and then in his native India for most of his adult life.
