Nationalism and imperialism are often related. Nationalism refers to pride in one’s country. Imperialism is the desire to gain land beyond one’s borders.
When countries become imperialistic, one factor that often is involved is the desire to spread their way of life. Imperialistic countries believe the way they do things is superior to the way other countries or the people in other countries do things. Thus, the imperialistic country feels it is its duty to help the less fortunate people and the less fortunate countries in the world by showing them the ways to do various things. This includes how to set up a government and an economic system and how to live their life.
The British and French established colonies for many reasons. One reason why they expanded into Africa, Asia, and the Americas was to show the people who lived in these areas how to improve their life by following British and French ways of doing things. The Germans believed they were superior to the people in any other country. Thus, they felt they could do what they wanted to do when it came to controlling and conquering other places. Imperialism and nationalism often go together.
