Question

How did religion lead to imperialism? Thank you

Answer 1

Answer:

Religious missionaries trying to spread influence in Africa, Asia, North America, and South America through the means of social darwinistic acts.

Explanation:

Missionaries though the ideas of Christianity would give them more justification to carry on imperialistic acts. They viewed indigenous people as uncultured and that they had moral justification to provide, "structure in their lives". This gave them a reason to want to spread Christianity and carry out these acts in the first place.
