The correct options are
A Rise of capitalism
B Colonisation and industrialisation
D Race for colonies by imperial powers
Between the 14th and 20th centuries, several European countries had colonised many regions across the world. They plundered resources and raw materials from these colonies, and used this wealth to build more factories, railways, and steamships within their capitalist economy. Initially the colonisers decided to follow policies of free trade. After 1870, however, these countries exerted their power through military force in order to gain imperial control of other regions.
