Imperialism“The takeover of a country or territory by a stronger nation with the intent of
dominating the political, economic, and social life of the people of that
nation.”
![Page 4: Changes to the class…](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56813370550346895d9a8417/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why did Europeans believe they should/could take over countries around the world? What were their motives?
Is Imperialism MORE beneficial or MORE harmful to the country being taken over? List pros and cons and then answer the question.

What is the difference between an Imperialism and Colonialism?
![Page 6: Changes to the class…](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56813370550346895d9a8417/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is the difference between an Imperialism and Colonialism?
Imperialism: " the policy of extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries, or of acquiring and holding colonies and dependencies."
Colonialism: "the control or governing influence of a nation over a dependent country, territory, or people."
![Page 7: Changes to the class…](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56813370550346895d9a8417/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In other words…
Colonialism can be considered a type of Imperialism.

4. Religious Reasons
Christianize the “savages” Why did the Europeans think
the Africans were savages?
Protect the missionaries Bring civilization so that
the Africans could understand Christianity
![Page 14: Changes to the class…](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56813370550346895d9a8417/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
5. Ideological Reasons The belief that the
Europeans were superior to other cultures (social Darwinism) When Europeans arrived
and Africans did not want Industrialization, the Europeans assumed it was because the Africans were lesser than the Europeans
Europeans viewed other people as children (Paternalism)
![Page 15: Changes to the class…](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56813370550346895d9a8417/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Social Darwinism and “White Man’s Burden”“Social Darwinism”
A Pseudo (fake) science stolen from the ideas of Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin argued that there was a “survival of the fittest” on Earth and some animals were better at adapting than others
Social Darwinism (racist idea) agued that Europeans had advanced technologically—so therefore Europeans were better
![Page 16: Changes to the class…](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56813370550346895d9a8417/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“White Man’s Burden”
Believed that it was the “White Man’s Burden” to bring “civilization” to the world
![Page 17: Changes to the class…](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56813370550346895d9a8417/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Take up the White Man's burden—Send forth the best ye breed--Go bind your sons to exileTo serve your captives' need;To wait in heavy harness,On fluttered folk and wild--Your new-caught, sullen peoples,Half-devil and half-child.Take up the White Man's burden--In patience to abide,To veil the threat of terror and check the show of pride;By open speech and simple,An hundred times made plainTo seek another's profit, and work another's gain.Take up the White Man's burden--And reap his old reward:The blame of those ye better,The hate of those ye guard--The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!)
toward the light:--"Why brought he us from bondage,Our loved Egyptian night?”

Questions from the poem
1.How does he refer to a Colonist?
2.What does he think of the intellectual ability of a Colonist?
3.Why would the people the Imperialists “bettered” blame the Imperialists?
4.Why would those who are “guarded” by the kind Imperialists be hateful towards them?

Scramble for Africa
Started by King Leopold II of Belgium
Conquered the Congo Basin, to “end slave trade”
But…brutally forced Africans to collect wild rubber
![Page 47: Changes to the class…](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56813370550346895d9a8417/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Leopold and the Congo
Rubber became the #1 resource extracted from the CongoWhy was this needed in Europe?
Leopold did this ALONE without the backing of BelgiumHis corporation went bankrupt (yet he remained rich)
To get out of debt he borrowed money from the Belgium government and in return they would inherit the land of the Congo when he died.

Berlin Conference Fearing a war Otto Von
Bismarck sets up Berlin Conference of 1884-1885
set up rules for nations to divide up Africa1. colonies had to be "effectively occupied".
1. not enough simply to put up a flag and say the region was yours.
2. had to defend and administer the area
![Page 54: Changes to the class…](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56813370550346895d9a8417/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Goal of Berlin Conference was to SLOW down the Scramble for Africa… but it actually caused it to increase!
By 1913, only Ethiopia and Liberia were free of Europe

Running away, refusing to work, sabotages, and violence

Results of Imperialism in Africa Most of these nations remained under European control
until the 1960s, some as late as the 1990’s
Once independent they faced many problems: Crazy borders that divide resources & populations Many ethnic groups in one nation Little infrastructure Corruption and dependency on imports
