European Motives For Colonization European Nationalism Source for Raw Materials Missionary Activity Industrial Revolution European Motives For Colonization Markets for Finished Goods Military & Naval Bases Social Darwinism European Racism Places to Dump Unwanted/ Excess Popul. Humanitarian Reasons Soc. & Eco. Opportunities “White Man’s Burden”

European Explorers in Africa 19c  Europeans Map the Interior of Africa

2. Imperialism Prior to European domination, African people were divided into hundreds of ethnic and linguistic groups and continued to follow traditional beliefs Some converted to Islam and Christianity Due to industrialization, Europeans competed for new markets to buy goods This led to European imperialism in Africa in the 19th and 20th centuries Imperialism: the seizure of a country or territory by a stronger country Disease and African armies had discouraged European exploration in the past Humanitarians, explorers, and missionaries who were against the Atlantic Slave Trade were allowed to travel to the interior

European Explorations in mid-19c: “The Scramble for Africa”

Harvesting Rubber

Punishing “Lazy” Workers

5-8 Million Victims! (50% of Population) It is blood-curdling to see them (the soldiers) returning with the hands of the slain, and to find the hands of young children amongst the bigger ones evidencing their bravery...The rubber from this district has cost hundreds of lives, and the scenes I have witnessed, while unable to help the oppressed, have been almost enough to make me wish I were dead... This rubber traffic is steeped in blood, and if the natives were to rise and sweep every white person on the Upper Congo into eternity, there would still be left a fearful balance to their credit. -- Belgian Official

The Age of Imperialism in Africa Social Darwinism National pride led to the desire for more colonies Europeans viewed an empire as a measure of national greatness Simply put: Europeans believed they were better than other peoples; racism Based on Charles Darwin’s “Survival of the Fittest,” European attitudes were a reflection of a social theory known as Social Darwinism Essentially they believed those who were the fittest for survival enjoyed wealth and success and were considered superior to others This colonization push also came from missionaries looking to spread Christianity Railroads, maxim gun, and quinine for malaria helped Europeans push into Africa

“The White Man’s Burden” Take up the White Man’s burden— Send forth the best ye breed— Go send your sons to exile To serve your captives' need To wait in heavy harness On fluttered folk and wild— Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half devil and half child Take up the White Man’s burden

The Age of Imperialism in Africa The Berlin Conference The discovery of diamonds in 1867 and gold in 1886 in South Africa increased European interest in colonization To prevent war, 14 European nations met at the Berlin Conference in 1884-85 to lay down rules for the division of Africa They agreed that any European nation could claim land by notifying other nations and showing they could control that land Very little thought was given to how the African groups would react No African ruler was invited By 1914, only Liberia and Ethiopia remained free of European control
