The author explores the reasons behind the scramble for territories by European powers, which led to the colonization and exploitation of many countries in Africa and Asia. He delves into the economic, political, and social factors that drove imperialism, and how technological advances such as steam engines and telegraphs played significant roles in making expansion possible.
