Read the quote. Then answer the question. "I repeat that superior races have a right [to establish colonies], because they have a duty. They have the duty to civilize inferior races."

– Jules Ferry, French premier, 1883

Ferry’s statement supports the practice of

a- forced religious conversion.
b- manifest destiny.
c- imperialism.
d- patriotism.

c- imperialism.

Explanation:

Imperialism is defined as the policy to extend their power and dominate the minorities through political gain and economic control.

In the 19th century, imperialism was a popular policy to extend their colonies. Jules Ferry was the Prime Minister of France and he presented his views in parliament stating the power of superior races over inferior races.

The given statement supports the practice of imperialism because the power is given to superior races to dominate inferior races to extend their territory.

Hence, the correct answer is "c- imperialism."
