Imperialism is the over powering of one country or region. The over powering would be done by a single country. The single country would over power the political, economic, and/or cultural life. "The New Imperialism" was the need and desires of the European manufacturers. This was during the end of the 1800s. The Europeans wanted the natural resources that India, Africa, and China had. They, also, wanted to make influences in India, Africa, and China.The Europeans, also, wanted to have more markets to sell more products at. The Europeans pretty much just wanted to be able to make more money and become more powerful. Some Europeans wanted to convert the Africans to Christianity, though. They believed that African religions were wrong and that Africans needed to be shown God. That is what "the New Imperialism" was.
The revision I would make here is to change the time frame. The correct time frame is the late 1800s (1880s-1914).
