One reason for the growth of imperialism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries was the desire  of industrialized nations for additional resources and markets.

In the late 19th - early 20th centuries, significant changes took place in the economies of the most developed countries of the world, as a result of which many theories created in the era of classical capitalism of free competition became untenable. Homogeneous, relatively small producers were replaced by the largest companies, increasingly acquiring a monopolistic form. Production began to acquire a mass character, which brought to the fore the problem of selling manufactured products. If earlier the producer dominated the economy and the whole economic theory, starting from the classical school and including the early neoclassical and Marxist theories, was the theory of the economy of supply, but then has been replaced by the theory of the economy of demand.

The uneven development of countries under capitalism has led to a change in the balance of power between the strongest world powers.

In turn, the external expansion of developed countries was explained by the imbalance in the development of industry and agriculture. Agriculture lagged significantly behind the development of industry. Thus, in industrialized countries, there was a shortage of raw materials and food. This leads to a policy of capturing foreign sources. This is what imperialism consists of - an attempt to monopolize part of the world market through the conquest of agrarian countries.
