Answer:

It is hard to give only one cause to such a big historical event. The decay of empires can be a long duration event with a dozen of causes. However in this case it is safe to say that this set of events has one common fundamental cause: transatlantic slave trade.

Explanation:

The transatlantic slave trade was a long duration event that completely changed internal dynamics of African empires. Although to say that it destroyed Africa's cultural achievements is too much, it certainly impacted the entire continent.

Africa had internal slave trade since long time before the 14th century. This trade however was small and connected with demands internal to states in the continent. When the atlantic trade started and became routine it was big business, the bigger of the modern era: it was a world trade that was responsible for much of the growing of many entire nations.

The last country to abolish slavery was Brazil in 1888. Transatlantic slave trade started in the 1400s with technological developments that improved navegation and ended in mid 1800s.

Answer:The late nineteenth century was known as the “Age of Imperialism,” a time when the United States and other major world powers rapidly expanded their territorial possessions.

American imperialism is partly based on American exceptionalism, the idea that the United States is different from other countries because of its specific world mission to spread liberty and democracy.

One of the most notable instances of American imperialism was the annexation of Hawaii in 1898, which allowed the United States to gain possession and control of all ports, buildings, harbors, military equipment, and public property that had belonged to the Government of the Hawaiian Islands.

Some groups, such as the American Anti-Imperialist League, opposed imperialism on the grounds that it conflicted with the American ideal of Republicans and the “consent of the governed.”

Explanation:Social Darwinism: An ideology that seeks to apply biological concepts of Darwinism or evolutionary theory to sociology and politics, often under the assumption that conflict between societal groups leads to social progress, as superior groups surpass inferior ones.

American Exceptionalism: A belief, central to American political culture since the Revolution, that Americans have a unique mission among nations to spread freedom and democracy.

The American Anti-Imperialist League: An organization established in the United States on June 15, 1898, to battle the American annexation of the Philippines as an insular area.
