Western Imperialism Spreads Rapidly From about 1870 to 1914, imperialist nations gained control over much of the world. Leading the way were soldiers, merchants, settlers, missionaries, and explorers. In Europe, imperial expansion found favor with all classes, from bankers and manufacturers to workers. Western imperialism expanded rapidly for a number of reasons.

Scramble for Africa Prior to the Age of Imperialism, Europeans only controlled port towns (except for Portugal who had larger colonies) British took South Africa, Sierra Leone, and Gambia in the mid-1800s

Scramble for Africa Between 1875 and 1900 European control of Africa went from 10% to 90% Only two nations, Liberia and Ethiopia remained independent

Scramble for Africa

Berlin Conference Tensions began to mount between rival European nations during scramble for Africa Conference called in 1884 by Bismarck of Germany to defuse disputes and set guidelines for colonization Conference in Berlin essentially divided up Africa – no African representatives were invited During division tribal territories and rivalries were not considered. Boundaries were drawn that divided tribes and coupled enemies together, leading to modern problems in Africa.

Types of Imperial Rule The leading imperial powers developed several kinds of colonial rule. Each of the different types reflected different goals for their colonies.

Types of Imperial Rule Direct Rule French, German, Portuguese Direct rule of locals Imposed culture on local lands Highly centralized Indirect Rule British Advisors made laws but local ruler carried out laws Local rulers retained authority and reported to Britain Mixed cultures
