How did the Europeans justify their imperialism?
Europe's political, military and economic domination of the world gave birth to the British notion of the white man's burden. The white man's burden held that the white man had an obligation to forcefully spread their ideas and institutions with others. This was utilized by some European governments as moral justification for their imperialistic foreign policies.

About Imperialism
Imperialism is a political theory which dictates or in practice creates an expansionist empire with domination at its base. Though empires which cover the most geography are most often called imperialist, imperialism also exists in the realm of ideas, including cultures, values, and religions.
