The Enlightenment was a philosophical movement that took place in Europe and subsequently the United States during the late 17th century and 18th century. It promoted ideas such as human reasoning, liberty and the development of the scientific method. This movement was highly skeptical of religion.

Although the abolition movement of the 19th century in North America shared religious beliefs among its members, it also promoted human liberty through the struggle for the liberty of slaves and the eventual achievement of equal rights among all citizens. A social platform that would eventually lead to the overall improvement of society.

Which did the nations Western Europe attempt to achieve in the decades following World War II?

Amanda [17]

Answer:a new wave of imperialism

Explanation:Imperialism and colonialism both dictate the political and economic advantage over a land and the indigenous populations they control, yet scholars sometimes find it difficult to illustrate the difference between the two.[10]: 107 Although imperialism and colonialism focus on the suppression of another, if colonialism refers to the process of a country taking physical control of another, imperialism refers to the political and monetary dominance, either formally or informally. Colonialism is seen to be the architect deciding how to start dominating areas and then imperialism can be seen as creating the idea behind conquest cooperating with colonialism. Colonialism is when the imperial nation begins a conquest over an area and then eventually is able to rule over the areas the previous nation had controlled. Colonialism's core meaning is the exploitation of the valuable assets and supplies of the nation that was conquered and the conquering nation then gaining the benefits from the spoils of the war.[10]: 170–75 The meaning of imperialism is to create an empire, by conquering the other state's lands and therefore increasing its own dominance. Colonialism is the builder and preserver of the colonial possessions in an area by a population coming from a foreign region.[10]: 173–76 Colonialism can completely change the existing social structure, physical structure, and economics of an area; it is not unusual that the characteristics of the conquering peoples are inherited by the conquered indigenous populations.[10]: 41 Few colonies remain remote from their mother country. Thus, most will eventually establish a separate nationality or remain under complete control of their mother colony.[11]
