1.The Industrial Revolution and the rise of Capitalism sparked interest in Africa and the imperialism in the 19th and 20th century because the different factories wanted to expand. Their employees were getting more rights and the factory owners wanted to maintain the cheap labor.
2.The Berlin conference and the imperialism of Africa only furthered the abuse of the Africans and ripped them of what little possessions they had, meanwhile the Europeans grew richer.
3.The imperialism of the 19th and 20th century was an unexpected turn of events. Of course the Europeans knew to take advantage of the native Americans but they didn't expect them to revolt for independence years later. With the imperialism of Africa they were trying to prevent this from happening and conflict between each other which led to the Berlin conference and the political division of the African land with no regard of the African people.
4.The Europeans went in divided the people, took what they wanted and the left the Africans stripped of resources and full of conflict.
5.I think that businesses will never have enough profit. Two examples of this can be seen with the Dell computer company and vehicle companies outsourcing jobs in other countries that are not of their origin.
