Day Three
Africa was transformed by Imperialist
nations of Europe
Causes of Imperialism
Nationalism
To gain power,
European nations
compete for colonies
and trade.
Economic
Competition
Demand for raw materials
and new markets spurs a
search for colonies.
Missionary Spirit
Europeans believe they
must spread their
Christian teachings to
the world.
Europeans exerted
influence over the
economic, political, and
social lives of the people
they colonized
Effects of Imperialism
Colonization
Europeans control land
and people in areas of
Africa, Asia, and Latin
America.
Mercantilism
Europeans exerted
influence over the
economic, political, and
social lives of the people
they colonized
Europeans control trade
in the colonies and set
up dependent cash-crop
economies.
Christianized
Christianity is spread to
Africa, India, and Asia.
Patterns of Change
1. How did the British
control Nigeria and
other British
colonies?
• Indirectly by
allowing existing
political rulers to
govern under British
authority and local
officials to manage
daily affairs.
Patterns of Change
2. What method of
management did the
French use with their
colonies?
• Direct control through
policies of paternalism
and assimilation.
Patterns of Change
3. How did Algeria’s resistance
to French rule differ from the
East Africans’ resistance to
German rule?
• Algeria used active resistance,
whereas East Africans used a
spiritual defense that included
the belief that magic water
sprinkled on their bodies
would ward off European
bullets.
Patterns of Change
4. Why was Ethiopia
able to successfully
resist European rule?
• Emperor Menelik II
took advantage of
rivalries among
Italians, French, and
British to build an
arsenal. He later
declared war and
defeated the Italians at
the Battle of Adowa.
Patterns of Change
5. How did Africans benefit from
colonial rule?
• Colonialism reduced local
warfare; in some colonies it
improved education,
sanitation, transportation, and
communication for the
Africans. In addition, African
products came to be valued on
the international market.
Patterns of Change
6. What were the negative
consequences of colonial
rule for the African
continent?
• Death from European
diseases to which Africans
had previously not been
exposed and from active
resistance to European rule,
loss of property, famine,
breakdown in traditional way
of life, artificial political
divisions that would lead to
ethnic and civil wars.
