Question 5 • MO-US History II A

Which of the following is the best example of imperialism?

Answer
A
In 1776, the United States declares independence from Britain.
B
The territory of Utah becomes a US state in 1896.
C
Belgium and Luxembourg form an economic union in 1921.
D
In 1902, Britain wins the South African War and takes over the Transvaal.

Explanation

Imperialism is when a powerful country extends its control over another territory or people. In 1902, Britain took over the Transvaal after winning the South African War, so this is an example of imperialism. The other choices describe independence, becoming a state, or forming an economic union—not one country taking control of another.
