In the nineteenth century, an era of intensifying European imperialism signaled a momentous shift in the course of world history (for this final exam, imperialism is defined as the militarized/administrative control of territory by a distant mother-country --such as England/Great Britain in India). In your contextually detailed and chronologically precise essay, you are required to identify at least two key historical processes that led to this era of intensifying European imperialism in Asia and/or Africa. Not looking for a whole essay, but seeking ideas/examples. Please include key dates with these historical processes.
