Section 1
Imperialism- one country’s domination
over the political, economic and social life
of another country.
• Europe , U.S., Russia and Japan were all
taking part in Imperialism. Why these
countries?
• “New Imperialism” aggressive expansion
in the world by industrial countries
• Most of the world was controlled or
influenced by the above countries by the
1900’s
Reasons for Imperialism during the late
1800’s/1900’s
1. Political power and rivalries- European
countries, Russia, and U.S. all wanted
more power and territory in the world.
2. Desire for New Markets and Natural
Resources- Imperial countries wanted
more resources for Industrialization and
more people to trade with.
Reasons for Imperialism cont…
3. Civilizing Mission- Imperial countries
felt places in Africa and Asia were not
civilized and Europeans felt it was their
duty to go in and modernize people in
those regions. One way to do this was
by converting people to Christianity.
This attitude is called Social Darwinism.
Social Darwinism
• Social Darwinism was a social theory
during the 1800’s.
• The theory is based on the idea that
those who were the fittest in society
had the most wealth and success and
would suppress those that were not.
• Example-European nations were
industrialized and enjoyed a higher
standard of living. Because they had
the money and power they would
exploit other cultures (Africa and Asia)
for their own gain.
Western Powers Strong
• Western nations in Europe, the US and Russia
were all advanced with money and strong
armies
• This allowed them to take over weaker
countries for resources and trade
• For example, Britain began to influence trade
in India during the 1500’s
• This influence turned into Britain totally
colonizing India by the 1800’s
3 types of Imperialism
• Colony-direct rule through colonial
officials. (Africa)
• Protectorate- country has own govt.
but its policies are guided by imperial
country. Cost less to run for imperial
country. (Africa, Indonesia)
• Sphere of influence- imperial country
has exclusive trading rights. (China)
Places that were colonized or influenced by
Imperialism during the 1800’s
Western Advantages
1. Western countries had strong economies,
well-organized governments and powerful
armies
2. Maxim gun-worlds first machine gun
3. Steam engines allowed Europeans to
navigate rivers, railroads helped navigate land
and communication
Western Advantages cont…
4. Quinine drug protected Europeans from
diseases
5. Europeans would peg one tribe against
another (African tribes were not united due to
the many different languages and cultures)
6. Asian and African countries did resist but
ultimately could not overpower Western
countries
Forms of Control
• Direct rule-officials from the colonial
country would be sent to govern the
native people in a colony. The colonial
countries culture is forced onto native
people.
• Indirect control-the colonial country uses
sultans, chiefs or other local rulers to
govern the colony. This way groomed
“westernized leaders”
Section 2
The Partition of
Africa
Africa Late 1800’s
• Africa is a huge continent consisting of
hundreds of different languages, tribes and
many different types of government
• BY the late 1800’s the entire continent will be
colonized
• The slave trade ends but Africans will still be
completely controlled due to Imperialism
• Islam had spread in North Africa, West Africa
and East Africa
• South Africa was controlled by the Zulu tribe
Before Imperialism in Africa
• Until the 1800’s Europeans knew little
of Africa until missionary explorer
David Livingstone went their in 1840
• What contact did Europeans have with
Africans before the 1800’s?
A: slave trade and trade for other items
such as beeswax and ivory. Trade was
controlled by African tribes
Africa Before Imperialism cont…
• Travel into the interior
of Africa was almost
impossible due to
hard to navigate rivers
and diseases
• Before European
imperialism Africa was
divided into hundreds
of ethnic and linguistic
groups (see map
Imperialism Begins
• The only Europeans who traveled into Africa
early on were missionaries, humanitarians
and explorers.
• David Livingstone went there in 1860
• He was no where to be found until an
American reporter-Henry Stanley found him
in 1872-”Dr. Livingstone I presume”?
• Stanley then set out to explore the Congo on
behalf of Belgium’s King Leopold II.
• Stanley obtained land for Belgium by having
local chiefs sign treaties which gave Belgium
control of the land.
Imperialism Begins cont…
• Local chiefs signed the treaties because
King Leopold said he was for abolishing
the slave trade.
• Instead, Leopold hired companies to
exploit the Congolese Africans and force
them to collect rubber sap. At least 10
million died.
• Soon Britain, Germany, France, Italy,
Portugal and Spain started claiming parts
of Africa.

Result of Imperialism in Africa
• Before the time of Imperialism only 10% of
Africa was controlled by outside countries
• During the height of Imperialism only 2
independent countries remained
• European countries took many resources from
Africa such as gold, tin, rubber, salt, iron, ivory
and jute.
• Europeans converted some Africans to
Christianity, taught Africans their language
and culture, and modernized certain parts of
The race is on
• European countries started grabbing
land like it was a race.
• The Berlin Conference was set up by
14 countries to lay down rules for
the division of Africa to prevent
conflict.
Examples of Imperialism in Africa
• Congo-taken over by King Leopold from
Belgium. Belgians practiced brutality to
force natives to harvest rubber and
elephant tusks.
• French take territories in North AfricaAlgeria
• Italy-took over the “Horn of Africa”
Examples of Imperialism cont…
• South Africa-taken over by the British, the
African Zulus tribe fought fiercely but still lost
in the end.
• Boer War- S. Africa held a population of Dutch
farmers that had been in S. Africa since the
1600’s. The Boers did not want the British or
Africans to have control. British and Boers
fought in the South African War. Britain won in
1910.
African Resistance
• Europeans gained control of Africa through
force or by signing treaties with the Europeans.
• In many cases Africans resisted the Europeans
but many were unsuccessful
• Ex.-Algeria’s resistance against the Germans
• Successful Revolt-occurred in Ethiopia.
• King Menelik II played Itlay, France, and Britain
against each other
• King Menelik built up his forces and
successfully defended his country
• King Menelik II
preserved

What were the positive and negative
effects of imperialism in Africa?
Positive
Negative
Long Term Impact of Imperialism-Rwandan
Genocide
• Occurred in 1994 and lasted for 100
days. 800,000 to a million people
killed
• Conflict between the Hutu (majority)
and Tutsi tribe (minority)
• During Imperialism the Belgians put
the Tutsi tribe in charge for indirect
rule of the colony
• The Belgians measured the facial
features of the Tutsi and deemed
the more “white” which in that term
meant superior
• Anger festered for years until the
colony was independent in the
1960’s
• Both tribes fought over control until
it ended in genocide
White Man’s Burden Primary Source Activity
1. According to Kipling, and in
your own words, what was the
“White Man’s Burden”?
2. What reward did Kipling
suggest the “White Man” gets for
carrying his “burden”?
3. Who did Kipling think would
read his poem? What do you think
his audience might have said in
response to it during the 1800’s
versus the response today?

control over land, racism and the attempt to
convert Indians to Christianity.

year to regain their control over India and

result rebellion grew in India

League.

World B
Imperialism in China
• During 1500’s Chinese civilization was
advanced
• China had little interest to trade with Europe
• From 1500’s -1800’s China fell behind in
modernization and was surpassed by Europe.
• China became weak politically and
economically.
• China was now vulnerable to other countries
who wanted to come in and control trade
Imperialism in China
• Britain, Germany, Russia, France, and Japan
all held spheres of influence in China.
• Britain forced the Chinese to abide by Unequal treaties when China failed to defeat
Britain during the Opium Wars.
• Opium addiction resulted from British
merchants paying the Chinese for their goods
with opium rather than money. The Chinese
were no match for the British in this fight.
• Because China was weak, reform groups
rebelled in China to get a better
government,. replace the emperor, and
improve the Chinese economy.

modernized
• Japan became an imperial power instead of
being taken over.
• This will lead to Japan’s dominance before
