    Jules Ferry was a French statesman who gave a speech in the 1880s advocating for French imperialism. He argued that taking control of overseas territories would (1) provide markets for French manufacturers to sell their increasing production, as nearby markets like Germany and the US were saturated, and (2) bring political benefits like influence and prestige to France on the global stage. He also maintained that France had a cultural right to civilize so-called "inferior races" and bring them the benefits of French progress.
