British statesman and proponent of british imperialism. challenged the british people to create an empire by stating that it was their duty and a great honor and their divinely ordered mission of their country. question 2 options: benjamin disraeli dr. david livingston ferdinand de lessups

I believe the answer is: Benjamin disraeli

The challenge that initiated by Benjamin Disraeli damaged the relationship between the British empires and their colonies.

Before this, British empire colonized other countries for a trade/business relationship. But with Disraeli's new way of thinking, more of them were advocated to make the colonized countries become a part of the British empire and heavily involved in their politics.
