Imperialism Political Cartoons

Analyzing Political Cartoons The big difference between regular cartoons and political cartoons is that political cartoons have messages about current events. What do you see in this cartoon? What was going on at this time that relates to this cartoon? (Use your textbook for background information) What issue do you think this cartoon is about? What do you think the cartoonist’s opinion on this issue is? (Is this a pro-imperialist cartoon or anti-imperialist cartoon? How can you tell?) What methods does the cartoonist use to persuade the audience?
