African Imperialism

Introduction Many nations looked towards Africa as a source or raw materials and as a market for industrial products As a result colonial powers seized vast areas of Africa during the 19th and early 20th centuries

Africa Before European Domination In the mid-1800’s on the eve of European domination of Africa, African people divided into hundreds of ethnic and linguistic groups Europeans had established contacts with sub-Saharan Africans as early as the 1450. However, powerful African armies were able to keep the Europeans out of most of Africa for 400 years Africans controlled their own trade networks and provided the trade items

Forces Driving Imperialism Europeans viewed an empire as a measure of national greatness. As the competition for colonies intensified, each country was determined to plant its flag on as much of the world as possible Most Europeans believed they were better than others. The belief that one race is superior to others is called racism The attitude was a reflection of Social Darwinism, a social theory of the time. This theory is based on Charles Darwin’s ideas about evolution and natural selection

The Division of Africa The discoveries of diamonds in 1867 and gold in 1886 in South Africa increased European interest in colonizing the continent The competition was so fierce that European countries feared war among themselves. To prevent conflict, 14 Europeans nations met at the Berlin Conference in 1884-85 to lay down rules for the division of Africa When European countries began colonizing, many believed that Africans would be buying European goods in great quantities. They were wrong; few Africans bought European goods

Three Groups Clash over South Africa From the late 1700s to the late 1800s, a series of local wars took place between the Zulus and the British The first Europeans to settle in South Africa had been the Dutch. The Dutch came to the Cape of Good Hope in 1652 to establish a way station for their ships sailing between the Dutch East Indies and the Netherlands In many ways, the Boer War between the British and the Boers was the first modern “total” war

A New Period of Imperialism Four forms of colonial control emerged: colony, protectorate, sphere of influence, and economic imperialism Colony- a country or territory governed internally by a foreign power Protectorate- a country or territory with its own internal government but under the control of an outside power Sphere of Influence- an area in which an outside power claims exclusive investment or trading privileges Economic Imperialism- an independent but less- developed country controlled by private business interests rather than other governments
