Explanation:
IT is a repetitive pattern that countries often embark on imperialism when they have bustling industries and trade routes along with a good level of production but have bad living conditions for the people and are looking to increase their lifestyle value.
This is what happened in the late 19th century US which had prosperous businessmen but the common people were living lives in harsh conditions and had to suffer.
