Colonies attached to the mother country
afford, therefore, the surest means of
supporting abroad the sea power of a country.
from The Influence of Sea Power Upon
History by Alfred Thayer Mahan
How does Mahan's argument in this quotation
support the idea of imperialism?
Countries should establish overseas colonies
to support their navies.
Countries should establish colonies instead
of using their resources to build up their sea
power.
Countries can still have strong navies, even
without colonies.
