, Question 1: What was the primary economic motivation for European powers
during the era of New Imperialism?
• Answer: b. Expansion of trade markets
o Explanation: During the era of New Imperialism (late 19th to early 20th
centuries), European powers were primarily driven by economic interests,

new territories for investment.

the 19th century?

empire expanded significantly in the early 20th century.
