The Who, What, When, Where and Why During the Age of Imperialism

Objective: Create a PowerPoint that answers the Who, What, When, Where and Why of the Age of Imperialism. Directions: Specifically address these topics in proper paragraph form: Topic 1 = “Who” – Which nations were Imperialist? Which areas were conquered or became colonies? You chose how many to include. Topic 2 = “What” – Define Imperialism and other related terms. What other terms should you include? Topic 3 = “When” – Give specific dates. For example, who was first to set up a colony in Africa? Come up with “milestone” years. (Example, what year could you say Africa was almost completely claimed by European powers?) Topic 4 = “Where?” – Think geography. Include maps. Where was this happening? Do not just mention Africa, where else in the world? Topic 5 = “Why?” – You must know the definition and explain the meaning of the term “motive.” Why else did Europe do this? Use your notes here also. Topic 6 = Primary Resource picture analysis – Find a primary resource picture (NOT shown in class) and give a 2-3 sentence analysis about what’s going on, who the intended audience is, and how it portrays the Age of Imperialism.
