D. no limits on government leadership
Answer:
Colonial expansion inspired interest and generated writing during the age of the empire. Novels of exploration and exotic locales, such as Rider Haggard’s or Rudyard Kipling’s work, enjoyed great popularity. Even domestic tales were tinged by colonialism.
Explanation:
For example, Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park (1814) describes a family that owns plantations in Antigua. The madwoman in the attic in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1847) is a woman from Jamaica. Colonialism figured heavily in the popular Western imagination and thus found its way into literature.
I would say that this would be the WWI that contributed to the growth of communism and a worldwide depression after it as it became very clear after that WWI was not about 'fighting for king and country' but simply about the imperialist division or re-division of the world and just saddled the workers of the countries who participated in the war with excessive debt and that is when the first socialist country was declared in 1917 in the Soviet Union.
