What were the top 5 imperialist countries during the age of imperialism??
1. United Kingdom 2. France 3. Spain 4. Portugal 5. Germany, though it entered the scramble late. (German East Africa, South-West Africa, Togo, and Cameroon were extremely large territories.) The Dutch would be sixth. The Belgian Congo qualifies Belgium for seventh. Italy would be eighth. Depending on your definition of ‘Imperialism’, Russia might be in the top five — its massive acquistions in the east were roughly the equal of France’s empire in Africa and elsewhere.
