What were the reasons why the European powers launched an unprecedented conquest?


1. The first origins attributed to purely economic imperialism. The need for raw materials for European industry, markets to sell the manufactures of the metropolis and investment sectors for capital surpluses were, according to this hypothesis, the main reasons for the expansion. To this economic protectionism, which had been imposed in many countries as a result of depression of the 70s and had reduced the available markets it is added.
2. The second explanation considers imperialism as a result of the growing European nationalism. Colonies were considered symbols of prestige against other nations, and served to feed power in the country.
3. The third explanation sees the division of the world that came from the '80s was a continuation of the expansionary trend of the first part of the century. The European exercised control over some areas needed reinforced through annexations, because of the crisis generated in the regions subjected product from foreign domination.
4. The fourth explanation considers the systematic occupation and the sharing of certain regions of the sharp demand for colonies, initiated by Otto von Bismarck and continued by Guillermo II were due, since Germany had come to the colonial race delayed with respect to France and England. German Chancellor regarded the colonies as a useful tool for trading in European conflicts. The enormous demands placed on colonial matters spurred other countries to launch into a frantic race to occupy territories, earning hand to the other powers.
 5. The fifth explaniation its that Europe was the continet with more strong countries, so thats way they had most of the colonies and also because that give power,  better economy and natural resources .
