Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914) argued in favor of British imperialism in Africa. He believed that the British empire existed for the sake of advancing British commerce and success.
He asserted that maintaining empire in Egypt and elsewhere in Africa was as beneficial and necessary to British commercial success as maintaining India in a dependent condition toward Britain. A key line showing his intentions was when he said, <em>"I approve of the continued occupation of Egypt, and for the same reasons I have urged upon this Government, and upon previous Governments, the necessity for using every legitimate opportunity </em><span><em>to extend our influence and control in that great African continent which is now being opened up to civilization and to commerce ... and it is for the same reasons that I hold that our navy should be strengthened--until supremacy is so assured that we cannot be shaken in any of the possessions that we hold."</em> (June 10, 1896 speech)</span>
