Surely you know that removing an entirely relevant paragraph is not the right idea.
Scholars continue to debate the causes and ramifications of the "New Imperialism"; most notably, the relationship this period has with the Great War, the Long Depression, and the Second Industrial Revolution. This period coincides with the rise of Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States; and, during this period, China and Latin America were beginning to industrialize. The Russo-Japanese (1905), Spanish-American (1898), and Boer Wars (1880-81 -- 1899-1902) were all fought during this period. This was the era of Leopold II of Belgium, Mutsuhito of Japan, Napoleon III of France, Wilhelm II of Germany; as well as: Bernstein, Chamberlain, Cleveland, Crispi, Disraeli, Ferry, Kipling, McKinley, Milner, Rhodes, Roosevelt, and Von Bismarck.
