Answer:

The right choice is:

C-Sinking of the uss maine, delome letter, desire for raw materials.

Explanation:

The American "yellow press" had been building public opinion support for an intervention by publishing shocking and alarming stories about the abuses and cruel treatment of the Cuban population by the Spanish authorities (which were true, an independence war was being fought in 1898 on the island). Worried about important American investments, the government sent the USS Maine to Havanna to protect them and US citizens. In a very dark incident, it blew off in the Havanna harbor.

US businesses had gone global. There was already an industrialized economy that demanded more raw materials and new markets for expansion.

All of these are reasons for the US getting involvement in the Spanish-American War.

Which of the following IS NOT a cause of imperialism?Immersive Reader

Artemon [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Age of Imperialism was an age when Western powers colonized and divided Africa and large areas of Asia. The reasons for imperialism include economic competition between European countries or powers. Social Darwinism and racial superiority was another reason for imperialism. This is a phenomenon where the fittest one is considered superior or the fittest one enjoys survival. Another cause was white man's burden, which is an idea where white colonizers believed that they had a burden to colonize blacks.

The idea which is not considered a cause of imperialism was the technological superiority of non-Europeans. Therefore, option D is correct.
