The basic goal of Imperialism was for the Europeans to take control of the Africans and their countries in the 1800's to make money and control more parts of more continents. A major nation that was adopted in this Imperialism age was West Africa which was overcome by the French and Libya which was taken over by the Italians. The effect Imperialism had on other nations was how it changed many lives and made the countries into what they are today. A major effect imperialism had would be the Boer War between the South Africans and the Dutch, Germans and other European nations. Three motives of the imperialism stage are the political motive which was about a nation's desire to gain power, expand territory and compete with other nations. The second one is the religious motive, this one was about a desire to spread Christianity, to protect European missionaries in other lands and end slave trade along with the spread of morals and cutural beliefs. A third motive is the economic motive. That one was about the desire to make and control money and expand and control foreign trade.
