JerrelynM and CarolynH's History Clues: Compare and contrast the colonization of the age of exploration with the imperialism of the 19th and 20th century?

3) The colonization of the age of exploration and imperialism of the 19^th and 20^th century were alike in the form that they both where controlled by Europeans, also that these Europeans wanted land. They wanted to benefit from the land and use it to their own advantage. Also that during the age of exploration and during the 19^th and 20^th century they had separate social classes with Europeans on top. On the other hand during the imperialism they had more advanced technology since it was more recent they used steam engine boats while during the age of exploration they had to travel the world by ocean with ships. The use of the steam engine was only during the 19^th and 20^th century because the industrial revolution just happened and now these people had the advantage of traveling faster. Also when the different European countries discovered that Africa had very favorable geography they even fought more for the land. But even with the invention of the steam engine boats the Europeans could not have gone through Africa’s many forests and water falls. Unlike during the age of exploration when the Europeans had their mind on gold, glory, and for the god. Gold being the spices from China used to preserve food, glory being the honor and fame, and the god being their lord like the king who helped them with the finances to get the boats.
