• THEN…–What is imperialism?

– Extending a nation’s power or influence on a weaker nation

Agenda

1. Check HW2. Pray3. Drill4. Number Pages5. Reasons behind imperialism6. The White Man’s Burden

Reasons why Europeans Imperialized other areas: Nationalistic

• To make their nation more powerful by taking over lands of less advanced people

• To show their technological superiority over the native peoples(especially militarily)

• “Social Darwinism”: it was natural for stronger nations to dominate weaker ones

Political

• The new colonies were important locations for military bases

• Colonies helped provide a nation with power and security

**mo’ colonies, mo’ problems

Economic

• To get raw materials for their highly technical industries (Factories, Mills, ect.)

• To establish new markets for industrial products

White Man’s Burden

Europeans• It implied that Europeans (white people) had

a “moral duty” to bring civilization to less developed and colonial people

European Contact

• Europeans 1st came to Africa in 1450 but the African armies kept them out.

• Europeans sent explorers, missionaries, & humanitarians to find out about the “dark continent” (land unknown).

European Contact (con’t)• David Livingstone- Missionary looking to

promote Christianity• Henry Stanley- Explored Africa & traced the

course of the Congo River...sparked the interest of King Leopold II of Belgium

European Superiority

• The Industrial Revolution forced people to search for new markets & raw materials.

• Nationalism- Each country was determined to plant its flag on as much of the world as possible.

• Social Darwinism- Those who were fittest for survival enjoyed wealth and success and were considered superior to others.

European Superiority (con’t)

• Europeans had technological superiority…Maxim gun (1st automatic machine gun)

• The invention of the steam engine allowed Europeans to travel on rivers to control the interior.

• Protected from diseases…malaria (drug quinine).

• Africa’s variety of languages & cultures discouraged unity among them (wars b/w ethnic groups over land, water, & trade rights)

The “SCRAMBLE” Begins

• Berlin Conference (1884-1885) - 14 European nations (NO AFRICANS) met to lay down rules for division of Africa!

• They agreed that any European nation could claim land in Africa by notifying other nations of its claims

I contend that we [Britons] are the 1st race in the world, & the more of the world we inhabit, the better it is for the human race…It is our

duty to seize every opportunity of acquiring more territory & we should keep this one idea steadily before our eyes that more

territory simply means more of the Anglo-Saxon race, more of the best, the most human, most honorable race the world possesses. –

Cecil Rhodes, Confessions of Faith, 1877

Boer War (South Africa)

BOER WAR (South Africa)• Three primary ethnic groups of South Africa

were: Dutch (also known as the Boers or Afrikaners), British, & Black South Africans

Boer War (con’t)

• The British VS The Dutch…fight over control of diamonds found in South Africa

• The British were victorious by burning Dutch farms & imprisoning women & children in concentration camps.

• Boers are forced to join the Union of South Africa under British control.
