Using information you have learned in the lesson as well as evidence from the documents in the assignment, write one to two paragraphs in response to this prompt: why was great britain determined to exercise imperialism in the middle east?

Imperialism introduced new skills and ideas to most countries, as well as cultural change.

Prior to imperialism, agricultural areas in the Middle East were exclusively used for immediate family purposes; they were only put to commercial use when Europeans arrived. Europeans introduced the practice of cash crop rotation.

The main reason for the United Kingdom's determination to exercise imperialism in the Middle East was to maintain control of the Suez Canal.

This canal provided the quickest transportation link between Great Britain and its Asian colonies. Britain would have had difficulty governing its Asian possessions if not for this route.
