One justification that was not used to support European Imperialism in the late nineteenth century was the idea of economic equality among nations. Instead, imperialism was primarily justified through concepts such as the civilizing mission, the belief in racial superiority, and the desire for economic exploitation of resources. These rationales emphasized the perceived benefits of colonial rule for both the colonizers and the colonized, often disregarding the indigenous populations' rights and autonomy.

It suggested that powerful countries had the right to rule over weaker countries.

The concept of the white man's burden was used in the late 19th century to justify imperialism by suggesting that it was the duty of Western nations to civilize and uplift the so-called "inferior" peoples of colonized regions. This ideology was used to mask and legitimize the exploitation and subjugation of indigenous populations in the name of progress and humanitarianism.

Social Darwinism was the idea that different societies and races compete for survival in a similar way to species in nature, with the fittest coming out on top. This concept was used to justify European imperialism in Asia and Africa by suggesting that it was not only beneficial but also natural for superior European nations to dominate and exploit weaker non-European societies.

For Europe to rule Asia by force for purposes of gain, and to justify that rule by the pretence that she is civilizing Asia and raising her to a higher level of spiritual life, will be adjudged by history, perhaps, to be the crowning wrong and folly of Imperialism.
Social Darwinism is a idea that is similar to survival of the fittest. They used this idea to and divide preexisting areas or territories.
because they wanted and they knew Spain was and is the BEST. Spain!!!!!!!!!!
They accepted that we had to push out people who were standing in our way.
They didn't, Imperialism is a justification in of its self. The idea that the conquering of savage ignorant and uncivlised cultures in the glorious name of your home land, hardly an original idea.
