This document discusses the new period of European imperialism in the late 19th century. During this time, European nations demanded greater control over the economies, politics, and societies of the lands they conquered. They sought to shape the economies of these territories to their benefit and establish European customs. Each European power had its own methods for controlling colonies, such as direct or indirect rule for Britain. Different forms of imperialism included colonies, protectorates, spheres of influence, and economic imperialism. This period transformed conquered territories more thoroughly than previous waves of imperialism.
