Read the quote. then answer the question. “i repeat that superior races have a right [to establish colonies], because they have a duty. they have the duty to civilize inferior races.” – jules ferry, french premier, 1883 ferry’s statement supports the practice of a: forced religious conversion. b: manifest destiny. c: imperialism. d: patriotism.

Correct C - Imperialism

Jules Ferry (1832 - 1893), was an influential figure of French colonial imperialism. The central premise of Imperialism is to gain control over territories, controlling their economy and politics. Most of the times, this is achieved by armed conflicts.

Similarities can be found with the North American doctrine of Manifest Destiny, but a fundamental difference is made. While Ferry talks about races, the North American agenda, even when also aiming at territorial expansion, didn't mention races, but "American people", giving it a sense of community, rather than race.
