Imperialism: 1750 -1900 Enlightenment and Revolution

Imperialism is a period of world history from 1750 to 1900 where European countries sought to expand their power and influence by colonizing non-European countries.

This period was influenced by the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, which helped shape a new view of the world and human rights.

The Enlightenment thinkers believed in the power of reason and science and sought to spread their views through colonization.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of great upheaval and change in Europe. It helped to spread ideas of liberty, equality, and democracy across the continent.

During this period, European powers such as Britain, France, and Spain sought to expand their empires by colonizing parts of Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

These imperial powers used their military and economic might to gain control over foreign territories and their people.

Imperialism led to the exploitation of resources and people in the colonies, as well as the spread of European culture and language.
