    • Act of one nation gaining political or economic control over countries

    • That your country is imperial

    Correct Answer
    A. Act of one nation gaining political or economic control over countries
    Explanation
    Imperialism refers to the act of one nation gaining political or economic control over other countries. It involves a dominant nation exerting its influence and authority over weaker nations, often through colonization, annexation, or economic exploitation. This can be seen as a form of expansionism, where the dominant nation seeks to extend its power and control beyond its own borders. Imperialism is driven by the belief that the dominant nation is superior and has the right to assert its dominance over others.

    A. Competition among all individuals, gorups, nations, or ideas drive progress in human societies
    Explanation
    Social Darwinism is a belief that competition among individuals, groups, nations, or ideas is what propels progress in human societies. This perspective draws parallels to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, where only the fittest individuals survive and thrive. According to Social Darwinism, the constant struggle for resources and power leads to societal advancement as the strongest prevail. This concept has been used to justify social inequality and the survival of the fittest mentality in various contexts throughout history.
