Match each cultural region to the correct description.

The correct matches are:

* Hawaii is sometimes considered as part of this cultural region - West Coast

The Hawaii Islands are sometimes put in the same basket as the people that live in the West Coast area when it comes to cultural traits. In reality this is not right at all, as the Hawaiian people have a Pacific culture, and even the European and Asian settlers differ significantly from the West Coast culture.

* Historically, this region has been influenced by German and Scandinavian farmers - Midwest

The Midwest is the region in which lot of Germans and Scandinavians have migrated in order to get a better life. The majority of them were farmers, and they continued to be farmers in the Midwest, the most fertile part of North America.

* The region's heavy Spanish influence attracts many Central and South American immigrants - Southwest

The Southwest has been a Spanish territory for quite some time, and when the United States conquered this part, the majority of the population was of Spanish origin or had the Spanish culture. This remained to be so as the years passed by, and it is the preferred place for migration of the people from Latin America.

* Environmentalism is emerging as an important factor in this region's culture - Northwest

The Northwest seems to have a culture that has gradually been developing in a manner where the environment has been becoming more and more important. It has actually reached a point where the environmentalism is actually a cultural trait of the region.

the expansion of the rule of empires over other territories took place as a result of several reasons including economic, ethnocentric, political, and religious, and exploratory purposes.

in terms of economic purposes: imperial governments aimed to maximize profits and with that purpose they neeeded cheap labor, access to or control of markets to sell or buy products. they also desired to find natural resources (precious metals and land). in the awake of   industrial revolution, dependent colonies provided the necessary raw materials that european factories and market needed to manufacture products.  

ethnocentric: many territories were conquered by imperial territories in an attempt to spread their cultures, values and belief as they considered them to be superior. in the late 19th century, for example, european powers held   the racist belief that inferior races should be conquered in order to “civilize” them.

political: another reason that drove conquer and expansion was patriotism and growing imperial power. it refers to national prestige, pride, and security. empires sought strategic territory to ensure access for their navies and armies around the world.

religious: the aim of converting new member of other religions was another factor that prompted expansion.   christian missionaries from europe established churches in conquered territories during the nineteenth century. thus, they spread western cultural values. furthermore, the imperial nation’s language was spread as well, through educational and religious interactions.

exploratory: imperial nations or their citizens aimed to explore territory that was unknown to them,   for different purposes including medical or scientific research, however, at the very   beginning, they did it to embark on adventure. furthermore, imperial explorers sought to discover, map, and claim territory before their imperial competition did, for national and personal glory as well as to realize the imperialist goal of expansion.
