Why did imperialism expand in the 19th and 20th century?

There are few reasons that Imperialism grew so rapidly at the end of the 19th century. One of the reasons was industrialisation. With the industrialisation revolution beginning at the start of the 19th century the big powers in Europe were getting superior than other small countries like in Asia or Africa.

this is not a question
