We began to be, and we ultimately became, a great imperial power in the eighteenth century, but, during the greater part of that time, the colonies were regarded, not only by us, but by every european power that possessed them, as possessions valuable in proportion to the pecuniary advantage which they brought to the mother country, which, under that order of ideas, was not truly a mother at all . .which phrase from the excerpt most clearly shows an imperialistic attitude?

a. we ultimately becameb. under that order of ideasc. possessions valuable in proportiond. not truly a mother at all

The phrase which most clearly shows an imperialistic attitude is, 'we ultimately became.'

Explanation:

When we say that a country is having an imperialistic attitude, it means that it is trying to enlarge and widen its influence both in terms of geography and politics. Imperialism simply means to grow stronger, and this is mostly done by acquiring/gaining power over weaker and poor countries.

The statement, ‘and we ultimately became’ shows the imperialist attitude where the word ‘ultimately’ tries to depict the fact that finally, in the end we became an imperial power.
