Explanation:
The Old Imperialism and the New Imperialism have numerous things that distinguish them, including the goals of them, the migration of people, as well as the parts of the world where they were occurring. The Old Imperialism was focused on the Americas. Its goals were to to gain as much territory as possible, as well as gold and trade goods. The migration of Europeans during the Old Imperialism was immense, with millions of people moving in the colonies. The New Imperialism was focused on the territories in Africa and Asia. The goals were to exploit the raw materials, cheap labor force, and use them as market places. Very small migration from Europe occurred during the New Imperialism, as the mother nations were in much better condition and were developing rapidly.
