IMPERIALISM (1770s-1914)
Industrialized nations (Europe, U.S.,
Russia, and later Japan)
strengthened their control over their
colonies AND established
transoceanic empires throughout
Asia, the Pacific, and Africa.
Imperialism is this extension of
political and economic control of
stronger nations over weaker nations

WHY did industrialized
nations seek to control
other areas of the world in
the 18th and 19th centuries?
![Page 8: Imperialism 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a538801a28abc84e8b4585/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Western nations wanted:
PROFIT!!
![Page 9: Imperialism 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a538801a28abc84e8b4585/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
To control the trade of valuable
products around the world-
industrialization and growing affluence
led to the need for extensive raw
materials and agricultural products
![Page 10: Imperialism 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a538801a28abc84e8b4585/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
markets for their factory
products-sometimes European
factories produced more than
Europeans could consume for
themselves
![Page 11: Imperialism 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a538801a28abc84e8b4585/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Absorb the excess population of
European nations-avoid class conflict at
home
Nationalism- “Great Power” status in a
competitive political system (Italy and
Germany)

Missionaries, aid societies, and
others wanted to “Christianize”
and/or “civilize” people in less
developed regions.
•By 1910, 10,000
missionaries in
Africa
•By the 1960s, 50
million Africans
were Christian

HOW did they do it?
Industrialized nations:
Used their stronger militaries
(using superior firepower,
military technology, & navies)
Relied on native elites who were
Western educated
![Page 16: Imperialism 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a538801a28abc84e8b4585/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

JUSTIFICATION for
Imperialism
Widespread belief among
imperial powers that European
races SHOULD dominate the
world.
SOCIAL DARWINISM – survival
of the world’s best races
![Page 21: Imperialism 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a538801a28abc84e8b4585/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Social Darwinism•Based on the ideas
of Charles Darwin
and the “survival of
the fittest.”
•European
dominance involved
the destruction or
displacement of
“backward” people
or “unfit” races.
•Imperial
aggression was
seen as both natural
and progressive.

Scramble for Africa
By 1914, 90% of Africa under European
control
Berlin Conference in 1885 sets ground
rules for European colonization of Africa
Hardest to conquer decentralized
societies w/ no formal state structure-
village by village
![Page 28: Imperialism 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a538801a28abc84e8b4585/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

• See if you can identify part of the problem
with colonization.

Scramble for Africa
Economic Consequences-Rise in forced
labor within Africa
Forced Labor-Belgian Congo most infamous
case of abuse
Cash-Crop agriculture-often led to famine
for local people and dependence on foreign
markets
Wage Labor-migration of labor, urbanization,
mines
![Page 32: Imperialism 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a538801a28abc84e8b4585/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ECONOMIES of FORCED LABOR
Colonial subjects were required / forced to work as unpaid laborers on public projects like building railroads, constructing government buildings, and transporting goods.
French Africa – 10-12 days labor per year
Belgian Congo – private companies with state support terrorized natives to collect rubber
Netherlands East Indies – peasants required to turn 20% of their land into cash crop agriculture
Portuguese Mozambique – brutal enforcement of cotton production quotas
