Imperialism and militarism drive colonial expansion and crises
The passage links growth of commercial policies with imperialism and militarism, arguing colonies are both method and end. It cites 1884–1890 Berlin Conference attempts, later conferences, and crises from Fashoda to Agadir as consequences of colonial competition, highlighting Germany’s 1890s scramble and eventual pushback by civilized powers. It also notes Burlington railroad promotes war gardens with long-range land grants, and odd notes on Hungarian paper cloth garments and a poem praising the steady subscriber.
