I'm not sure if this will help, but Twain was against imperialism. He spoke out against what happened in the Philippines during the Philippine-American War (in which rebels fought against the US for not recognizing them as a republic -- this after the Spanish American War) and was concerned over the direction that the country was taking with those actions. Keith, on the other hand, was a businessman and entrepreneur who eventually created the United Fruit Company. Through his business holdings in Costa Rica and the Central American region, his companies managed to influence a great deal of the local economy. Instead of using armies and soldiers to take over a country, his companies did the same thing -- through the economy -- turning many areas into private preserves that fed his business interests. In that way, he was definitely something of an imperialist.
The Europeans were exposed to new technologies, inventions, and ideas as well as old ones that had been lost and forgotten in Europe for centuries. The arrival of Muslim innovations in medicine and science helped Europeans catch up to the rest of the world. Politically, many leaders left Europe to focus on the crusades and were unable to respond to uprisings in their homeland or appointed others to rule in their absence. The crusades eroded the power of the feudal aristocracy and elevated the role of kings. The Papacy became more powerful and it's church became much wealthier. International trade increased and there was a new demand for foreign goods. It also reawakened Europe's curiosity, driving them to discover and explore new places, create new inventions, and innovate new ideas.
The period 600 CE to 1450 CE is characterized by the opening of important trade routes between the world known then: Europe, Asia and Africa mainly. The intensification of trade implied a spread of languages, culture (religion) and customs of different peoples. With trade, products and diseases were also exchanged that made the revision of local beliefs and traditions necessary and permanent. To reconfigure the forces of power in those times, innovation was important and in many cases the adoption of religious systems or institutions was a good start for the reorganization of declining societies that should flourish after the fall of the great world empires.
