Jules Ferry was pro-imperialism (he supported this political idea).
Explanation:
<u>Like many intellectuals and politicians of his time, Jules Ferry saw imperialism as a good thing</u>. Ferry was a positivist follower and according to this theory, societies would evolve trough science and intellectual development. However, many of them should have a little "help" to do so. Because of that, <u>Jules Ferry believed that the Imperialism, especially the french imperialism, was supported by three main ideas: economical improvement, civilization development, and patriotism.</u> No matter how these ideas would be introduced in the controlled territories, they should be done whatever it takes.
