WHAT HAPPENED?• This new period of imperialism was very

different. During this period of imperialism, European nations demanded more influence in economy, political and social lives of people.• European nations wanted to shape the economy of the lands they conquer to get benefits and also they wanted to establish European customs in those lands.

CONTROL OF EUROPEAN NATIONS

•Each European nation had a different objective and technique to establish colonies. For example:

FRANCEGREAT BRITAN

DIRECT CONTROL INDIRECT CONTROL

• This type of control, gives the nations a little bit of power and freedom.

• Local governors can rule the territory and can participate in politics.

• Goal: develop future leaders.

• Limited self-rule.

• Used a paternalism policy, they provided needs to the territories, but didn’t give them rights.

• Only Europeans could rule the territories and participate in politics.

• They used another policy named assimilation (based on the idea that local populations eventually would become as the European).

• No self-rule.

DIFFERENT FORMS OF IMPERIALISM

• COLONY: a territory governed by a foreign power.

• PROTECTORATE: territory with own government, but under control of outside power.

• SPHERE OF INFLUENCE: area in which an outside power claims certain economic privileges.

• ECONOMIC IMPERIALISM: independent but less-developed territory controlled by private businesses

Conclusion

• This period of imperialism was very different from the previous ones. The other ones were about exploration and taking the natural resources, and this one was about transforming the territories. To accomplish this, the European nations used different strategies. Some of them were more peaceful and some of them were more repressive.
