Answer 1

Answer:

Imperialists believed they were giving the gift of civilized society to lesser races and peoples.

Explanation:

The notion of Social Darwinism asserted that, like the animals and plants, individuals and organizations competed with each other for achieving success. They used this argument to justify the power structure by arguing that there were established individuals or institutions at the top of economic, social, cultural, or political hierarchies because they had competed with others and proved to be better adapted. It justifies the dominance of the imperialist nations where the more evolved European races led the civilizing tasks to the inferior races of the colonies.
