During the 18th and 19th centuries, Britain expanded its control over territories across the globe, including parts of Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
This expansion was driven by a desire for economic gain, strategic advantage, and the spread of British culture and values.
MEANING OF IMPERIALISM�
Imperialism: When one country takes control over another area, not just by conquering it with an army, but also by influencing its economy and politics.
It’s like a game of chess where one player tries to control as much of the board as possible, but instead of moving chess pieces, they’re moving soldiers, making rules, and trading goods to get more power.
