How did economics play a role in imperialism

money = power

Explanation:

with imperialism being associated with countries taking over other countries, especially during the world war time periods, money essentially equaled power. when you have money, you have funding for things, like the military, that were necessary to imperialism. in addition to this, an economically developed country has greater power over a less economically developed country, leaving them with a disadvantage and subjected to the ultimate outcome of imperialism.
