Looking Forward• Tonight’s Homework: “Effects of Imperialism in Africa”

(on Edmodo and paper copies in the hall!)

• Imperialism QUIZ on Monday!(Study Blue is online, paper copies in the hall!)

Reasons for Imperialism1. Economics

Africa was a source for cheap materials to be used in factories AND a new market of customers to purchase goods made in Europe

2. CompetitionCountries could become more powerful if they had colonies in Africa

3. Religion and MoralsIt was a European duty to civilize those less fortunate

The Scramble for Africa!• European countries have

a “mad dash” to annex territory in Africa:• Britain: the largest Empire• France, Germany, Belgium,

Holland, Portugal and Spain also had territory in Africa

• Berlin Conference: Met in 1884 to divvy up land• Redrew the map of Africa• African Kings were NOT

invited

“The White Man’s Burden”• Europeans were offended by the “uncivilized” people they thought lived in Africa

• Some Europeans saw it as their duty to “save” the “uncivilized” Africans

• Goal: bring civilization to a “savage” continent
