Review, Title: “Imperialism Notes” 1) Imperialism: Controlling a foreign country2) Old Imperialism (1400s-1800s): Took land, but

lacked tech + power to fully control conquered3) New Imperialism (1870s-1914):

Tech: communication (telegraph) + transportation (rail + steamships) + weapons (machine gun) to actively control conquered

4) Reasons for New Imperialism: a) Exponentially More Need of Natural Resourcesb) Nationalist Rivalry c) Humanitarian and Religious Goalsd) Social Darwinism and Racisme) Military Security of Existing Colonies

British Empire: Colonies for natural resources, customers, fueling stations, then even more land to protect colonies you already have.

Notes #38a, Title: “Imperialism Notes” 1) Ways to Control a Population: a) Put your Eur. culture in place:

language, religion, local schools, send locals to European colleges (assimilate)

b) Give 1 ethnic group higher status to control another, pit 1 against another

(divide and rule) c) Military technology (Maxim gun)d) Used discriminatory laws + the

media to promote racial inferiority (obedience)

Battle of Omdurman (1898) 47 British killed, 9,700 Sudanese killed

2) Ways to Imperialize, Create:

a) Colony: Take total control, most pricey

b) Protectorate: Local ruler left in power, but must follow our orders, less pricey

c) Sphere of Influence: Reserve but leave alone, make statement to Eur. powers to stay away, cheapest

Europe’s size, rich resources
