Geographers such as Friedrich Ratzel suggested that the survival of empire relied on its ability to
expand its control and influence around the world. By implying a correlation between colonial
expansion and national success, geographers were able to produce a sense of nationalism within many
European nations. Their influence created a sense of pride that was able to reassure subjects that their
nation's activity abroad was beneficial to not only them, but that their presence was necessary within
the territories being occupied.
