The New Imperialism is when Europe, inspired by their growth in previous centuries, decided to shoot for "aggressive expansion in the 1800's. This is like when a business has experienced major growth and now wants to increase the business size to increase their overall profit. The Industrial Revolution had played a key role in increasing the wealth of European economies. Europe had not made an impact on places like China, India, and Africa, but with this new power, they were ready to expand in these areas.
The Industrial Revolution played a key role in overseas expansion of Europe. Europeans manufacturers and other foreign ones wanted the materials to sell in their markets, but also wanted new markets to sell these items.
Humanitarians, however, tried to resist the new imperialism. These westerners wanted to protect their "little brothers" or the West African people.
