Key components of new Imperialism, which emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, included the aggressive expansion of European powers into Africa and Asia, driven by economic interests, national prestige, and competition among imperial nations. The scramble for colonies was fueled by the demand for raw materials, new markets, and opportunities for investment.
