The Suez Canal greatly aided Western imperialism. Before the canal was built,
ships trading with Asia had to travel around the southern tip of Africa. By connecting the
Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea, the canal significantly reduced the sailing time from Europe to
trading destinations in the East. For example, the map shows that the canal reduced the trip from London to Mumbai, India, by 5,100 miles (8,200 km). Also, the canal helped to increase foreign
control of Egypt. Europeans made high-interest loans to the ruler of Egypt for building the canal and other projects. When the Egyptian ruler could not repay the loans, the British bought his shares of the canal, gaining controlling interest.

How did imperialism spread?
Imperialism spread through a combination of military conquest, economic exploitation, and cultural influence. European powers expanded their empires by establishing colonies, often using superior technology and organized armies to subjugate local populations. The demand for raw materials and new markets fueled colonial expansion, while ideologies such as nationalism and the belief in racial superiority justified these actions. Additionally, missionaries and explorers played a role in promoting imperial interests by spreading Western values and culture.
