How did the Industrial Revolution strengthen European imperialism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Industries needed raw materials and markets
The governing concept is the economic link between industrialisation and imperialism. Industrial factories produced goods on a large scale and therefore required steady supplies of raw materials as well as markets where finished products could be sold. European powers sought colonial control to secure these advantages and to expand their political influence. Option A is correct; the other choices contradict the rise of production and overseas trade.
