29. By 1914 By 1914, European nations had taken control of almost the entire continents of Africa and Asia. Through political or economic control, the power shifted entirely to the European nations and left the colonized regions weak and vulnerable. While there were some advantages for the imperialized nations, most felt attacked by the Europeans. The Europeans also looked on the non-Westerners as inferior and attempted to dominate them and “civilize” the conquered peoples. As this continued into the 20 th century, controlled regions would begin looking for leaders to help them fight for independence and national recognition.
