Which of the following motivated Western countries because they believed they had the right to gain political and economic powers at the expense of others?(1 point) Responses nationalism nationalism divide and rule divide and rule white man’s burden theory white man’s burden theory protectorate

Answer 1

The correct answer would be imperialism. Imperialism is characterized by Western countries seeking to gain political and economic power over others, often through colonization and the establishment of protectorates or colonies. The other options (nationalism, divide and rule, white man's burden theory, protectorate) are related concepts, but they do not fully capture the motivation behind seeking political and economic power at the expense of others.
