Answer 1

Imperialism is the policy through which a country extends it's power and influence to other either through diplomacy or through military force. It was viewed differently by the colonizers (Europeans) and the colonized (Africans).

Explanation:

Imperialism was viewed differently by the colonizers who were the Europeans. In the eyes of the colonizers, imperialism was the motivation to move them to new economic growth. It gave them the sense of superiority over the countries which were colonized. They thought that with imperialism they would be able to create new markets for themselves.

The policy of imperialism was not liked by the countries which were colonized, mostly the African countries. They thought that because of imperialism, the Europeans were forcefully imposing their beliefs and social structures on Africa. This was not liked by the people who were being forced to do so.
