Industrialism contributed to imperialism in the 1800's because as industrialization continued, resources fell (Think Oil, metals etc.), the territories (states in this case) needed to expand so that they could get more resource income, making their governments capture new territories in order to continue creating a prospering country.

Imperialism is the act of taking over another nation via their government.
