Question

Which of the following best describes how imperial power shifted during the last half of the 19th century? Places like Africa became more industrialized and politically powerful as they developed economically under imperialistic policies. Spain declined as a global power, while new players such as the United States emerged as global powers in Latin America and Asia. Mass nationalism led Britain to focus on internal issues for improvement, and imperial power in general began to recede. The resurgence of the Ottoman Empire forced Western powers to cope with new political realities.
