Imperialism rose for a few reasons. They needed raw materials that there factories couldn't get in there land. The need for materials and certain food products was growing, so they needed more space and a place where this stuff was. Another reason was people thought the more colonies you had the more nationalism you got. Also Western people wanted to make the countries that were, (Backwards) more civilized. Lastly Factories needed more space for their work and production.
You mean, "Another reason was Nationalism. People believed that the more colonies you had the greater the power of the nation was." or something like this.
