The period 1750 - 1914 was characterized by growing European imperialism. The Industrial Revolution during this period caused a demographic transition.
In the 19th century, imperialism was characterized by European powers colonizing territories in Africa and Asia for economic and political gain.

This would be called the New Age of Imperialism.
The Age of Imperialism was the quest for colonial empires.
