Respuesta :
Asia is economic--after exposure to items on the Silk Road, Europeans wanted direct access instead of going through the Middle East.
Africa is economic and political--it is economic initially to access humans for slavery in the New World. However the 2nd wave of imperialism was for resources and markets as well as empire building to amass political power in the modern world.
Muslim World/India is economic--Resources such as cotton, tea, oil, spices, and other commodities made these areas worth grabbing. After World War II, interest in the Middle East will become political as Europe needs allies in the Middle East to combat Soviet advances.
Americas are economic and social--For Catholic countries building trade and getting access to a marketable commodity or gold was a driving force but also was the conversion of people to Catholicism. For the Dutch it was purely economic as New York became a major trading hub for the New World. For England, it was social for those leaving Europe for religious reasons. The Southern colonies were economic ventures in particular for cash crops like tobacco and cotton.

For this selection discussing the main motivation for imperialist nations' interest, Africa and the Americas are the chosen regions.
What was behind the choice of Africa for imperialism?
Many factors accounted for the choice of Africa for European imperialism. Africa was filled with vast and untapped natural resources. Many of the resources have remained untapped today.
Some facts about Africa include:
- Africa also provided an avenue for Europeans to extend their political spheres.
- Africa was then a vast area of land that was not owned by any power.
- No wonder, Africa was parceled out among Europeans and they created boundaries that did not reflect the African reality.
What was behind the choice of the Americas for imperialism?
The Europeans were motivated mainly by socio-economic reasons as they sought a trade route to Asia and religious freedom for the marginalized.
When European imperialists came to some vast lands in the Americas occupied by what they regarded as Indian savages, they decided to build their political and economic empires there.
Thus, a good review of these two regions shows that it was a mix of social, economic, and political motivations that propelled European imperialism there.
