3. IMPERIALISM

Around 1870 a new form of colonial expansion took place, called imperialism. Colonialism sought to control resources of the colonized territories. Imperialism on the other hand, aimed to impose ideological domination on the colonized territories as well as exploiting them economically. This expansion was led by Great Britain, and France, and later, by Germany, Belgium, Italy, Russia, USA and Japan.
