Imperialism

The Basics in order to make a profit a country must export more then it buys a growing industry needs larger markets, more natural resources and larger factories (more workers) in order to expand

Definitions what is an empire? what is a colony? a group of countries controlled by a single central government what is a colony? a body of people sent out by a state to a new territory what is a protectorate? a country with its own government that is controlled by the central Imperial power

Canada vs India why was Canada a colony and India a protectorate? Canada’s Native population was replaced; India’s was not

What is the advantage of having an Empire? more natural resources bigger markets larger population for workers & the army imperial governments tended to drain their colonies by giving them consumable goods & taking out their wealth ex- gold & diamonds were taken from Africa but they were shipped things like clothing and food in return this was exchanged on a drastically uneven level

Mercantilism this system of economics was called mercantilism in it, mother countries would use tariffs (border taxes) to ensure that they exported more then they imported usually the mother country would import raw materials from its colonies and sell back the finished products at a profit

MOTHER COUNTRY natural resources finished products Tariffs- high import taxes prevent finished goods from colonies from being able to compete in the Mother Country limiting the colony to exporting raw materials COLONY COLONY

How it began Britain was the first country to enter the Industrial Revolution in order to expand and increase its profits an industry needs: larger markets more natural resources for production larger factories & more workers logically the next marketplace for the new British industries to sell to was Europe

Resources Britain had a growing population and growing industries but only limited resources the search for resources beyond Britain became all important this was how the age of exploration turned into the age of expansion colonialism & imperialism began because Britain needed to control these resources

The late 19th Century by the 1870’s Europe wanted even more new markets and resources even though they had colonies and out posts in many parts of the world, the major powers were not yet true empires but by the late 1800’s countries like GB began to truly expand; pushed by middle-class businessmen

The politics of conscience what social & economic theories that we have discussed would have legitimised European expansion? Laissez-faire- the belief that businesses should have a free reign without government interference. Social Darwinism- the belief that it is natural for the “superior” race to rise to the top. Adam Smith Herbert Spencer

“Saving Africa from the Africans” these attitudes affected the way the European nations treated the new areas they expanded into and their inhabitants European domination came under the guise of “protection” of lesser races religion also played a part in imperialism as the Churches pushed to have the governments help to “civilise” foreign cultures

The Berlin Conference 1884-1885 the major countries of Europe (Belgium, GB, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal & Spain) divided Africa up; despite the fact it was largely unexplored many of Africa’s problems today are due to the fact that this was done with no regard for her tribal structure many modern African countries have ethnic groups who would have been better off divided into separate countries
