The "new imperialism" of the nineteenth century profoundly affected global power structures as European countries engaged in renewed efforts to expand and conquer. As nations like Britain and France lost their North American colonial footholds, they turned their sights to lands and peoples like Asia and Africa to seek wealth, territories, labor, and authority. Other nations—like Germany, Belgium, and Italy—joined this imperial competition. All European countries in the scramble used various justifications for the invasion of other countries—from religion to nationalism to "civilization" efforts. This new imperialism also brought with it fierce and dynamic resistance tactics among colonized peoples who refused to relinquish their countries to foreign powers. Strategies varied in each region as individuals organized, leaders emerged, and independence movements took shape to fight back well into the twentieth century.
