Social Darwinists in the late 1800s and early 1900s used the philosophy of "survival of the fittest" to justify which national action?

Select one:

legislating progressive political reform

supporting local humanitarian aid

expanding existing colonial empires

creating regional trade partnerships

Expanding existing colonial empires

Explanation:

Social Darwinism takes place in neocolonialism or imperialism (not in the old models, but in contemporary imperialism).  It is a policy of expansion and political and economic dominance and is the result of the exploitation of colonized countries, due to the industrial demand of the emerging powers.  Thus, the purpose of social Darwinism was corroborated by the process of political and economic domination and legitimization of the emerging powers, the so-called neocolonialism.  As a consequence, the conquest of peoples was taking place, which conveyed the idea of a benefit to the conquered people.  Thus, they would be led by people capable of transforming and advancing their people. This gave the conqueror his superiority, since the superior nations had the mission to "civilize" the inferior ones.

explanation:

the first historical instance of china engaging in internationalism was during the han dynasty.[1] at the start of the han dynasty, the huns in the north were attacking the frontiers of han and trying to obtain riches. emperor wu of han wanted to gain an alliance with a country called dayuezhi so the two countries could join together and fight against the huns.[2] to obtain this alliance, emperor wu sent zhang qian to the west to establish economic and cultural connections.[2] history records that during the han dynasty there were four primary avenues of contact between china and europe. they included the northern land route, the central land route, the southern sea route, and the far southern sea route.[1] the most famous of these routes is the central land route, or the classical silk road, comprising a network of roads stretching from northwest china to the ports of syria and the black sea, which passed through the oasis of the turkestans and northern persia.[1] the silk road was significant for chinese emperors because it provided dominance over central asia by developing resources and provided new markets for the export of china's most valuable resources.[1]
