Imperialism is the practice of a larger country or government growing stronger by taking over poorer or weaker countries that have important resources.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Various motives prompt empires to seek to expand their rule over other countries or territories. These include economic, exploratory, ethnocentric, political, and religious motives.
Three periods in the modern era witnessed the creation of vast empires, primarily colonial. Between the 15th century and the middle of the 18th, England, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain built empires in the Americas, India, and the East Indies.
The correct answer is B.
The USS Maine battle ship was quietly riding anchor in Havana harbor, Cuba. At 9.40 pm on the night of February 15th, 1898, the ship was blown up apparently by a mine, in an explosion which tore out its bottom and sank, killing 260 officers and men on board.
No one ever established exactly what caused the explosion but it nevertheless resulted in the brief American - Spanish war because America strongly suspected the Spanish were the culprits.
