It's not. The Age of Imperialism ran from about 1870 to 1960 or so, when various European countries decided that they had the right to divide among themselves other areas such as China and Africa.
European states were motivated to engage in imperialism during the late 19th century primarily due to economic interests, national competition, and a desire for prestige. The Industrial Revolution created a demand for new markets and raw materials, prompting nations to seek colonies to fuel their economies. Additionally, the rise of nationalism led countries to compete for territorial expansion, viewing colonies as symbols of power and status. Social Darwinism and the belief in the civilizing mission also justified imperialist endeavors, as Europeans sought to spread their culture and values to other parts of the world.
Imperialism, according to most proponents of its causes, is the final stage of advanced capitalism. There was no advanced capitalism until the end of the 19th century. Even Adam Smith wrote about capitalism only in the late 18th century. Smith had no predictions on how capitalism might develop into imperialism.
The main economic factor that motivated imperialism was the powerful hold over land. In the 19th century the Europe had power over the raw materials too.
imperialism was the taking over of a smaller or weaker nation or regional by stronger countries , which were later knwn as mother countries.imerialism lasted from the 1800s-1900s, this was most common in european countries, which started due to the need of balance of power ,nationalism, and economic motives.
European imperialism in China during the 19th Century hurt the Chinese economy and their governments. The people were exploited. Japan & the USA were also involved in using imperialism in China as well. Imperialism continued into the 20th century as well.
