Question

Explain Which European Motive Behind Imperialism I Africa Was The Most Powerful

Answer 1

It was the motive of obtaining as many raw materials as possible from Africa that was the most powerful in terms of European imperialism, since this was during the Industrial Revolution, which greatly increased the demand for such materials in Europe. 

Answer 2

The most powerful was economic prosperity of European countries. They could exploit the land and the people of Africa and take their raw resources such as diamonds for example and take them to Europe. There they would be able to make goods with them and sell them to people for a lot of money and this meant that they would grow vastly richer than they were before.
