It also appears to me that you are guessing on these questions. If you had read your text materials, for example, you would know what the British Raj was. If you skimmed the text you've been assigned to read, but don't remember what the substance is, you need to re-read more carefully.
To determine the truth or falsehood of this statement, we can break it down and analyze each part.
Part 1: "Europeans theorized that their economic superiority justified their claim to foreign resources."
To verify this part, we can review the historical context. During the colonial period, European powers did indeed justify their claims to foreign resources based on their economic superiority. European nations sought to extract resources from colonies to fuel their industrial revolution and maintain their economic dominance. Therefore, this part of the statement is true.
Part 2: "for technological advancement."
This part implies that Europeans specifically claimed foreign resources for technological advancement. While technological advancement was an important aspect of European colonization, it was not the sole justification. Europeans sought various resources, including raw materials and agricultural products, to sustain their economies and maintain control. Therefore, this part of the statement is partially true but incomplete.
In summary, the statement is partially true. Europeans did theorize that their economic superiority justified their claim to foreign resources, but technological advancement was just one aspect of their motivations.
