3. Motives Driving the New Imperialism European Imperialism grew out of a number of causes. The Industrial Revolution required natural resources not available in the home countries; the need for naval bases around the world and for prestige also furthered imperialism; missionaries sought to convert more souls; and social Darwinism made the idea of conquering other peoples more acceptable.

4. The Rapid Spread of Western Imperialism Although a small group of Westerners were against colonialism, most were willing to take advantage of its perks, and conquering other lands proved quite easy. Several older civilizations were in decline during the time of Imperialism, and European powers had powerful armies and navies with technical advances such as the Maxim machine gun. Forms of Imperial Rule There were several kinds of colonial rule. Direct rule involved sending soldiers from the home country to control the population of the colony. Indirect rule used sultans, chiefs, or other local rulers to oversee operations in the colony. In a protectorate, local rulers followed the advice of their European advisors on issues of trade or missionary activity.

8. Africa in the Early 1800s When imperialists arrived in Africa, they met many different peoples who spoke hundreds of languages and had many different forms of government. Muslims had conquered or influenced much of North, East, and West Africa, but the Ottoman empire was in decline. In southern Africa the Zulus had expanded their control, but they in turn came to be dominated by the technology of the Boers. 1 of 8 The New Imperialism Section 2 Summary: The Partition of Africa Witness History Audio: Resisting Imperialism Color Transparency 145: European Explorations of AfricaNote Taking Transparency 161

9. 2 of 8 European Contact Increases African resistance, difficult terrain, and diseases kept Europeans from much of the interior regions of the continent in the early stages of imperialism. Explorers finally pushed into the interior, followed soon after by missionaries. Dr. David Livingstone was both an explorer and missionary who wrote about Africa’s people and opposed the slave trade.

10. 3 of 8 Color Transparency 149: The Scramble for Africa A Scramble for Colonies King Leopold II arranged trade treaties with African leaders and soon monopolized the Congo. This started the scramble for colonies by other European nations. An agreement about the process of colonizing Africa was reached at the Berlin Conference in 1884. Witness History Video: The Scramble for African Colonies Africans Resist Imperialism The colonizers often met with armed resistance. Ethiopia managed to resist European colonization altogether. In this Age of Imperialism, some Western-educated Africans developed an elite status, while others formed nationalist movements to pursue independence. Progress Monitoring Transparency

16. The New Imperialism Section 5 Summary: China and the New Imperialism Witness History Audio: Trading Opium for Tea Trade Between Britain and China China moved from having a trade surplus with Western countries to having a trade deficit. When British merchants were getting rich from selling opium to the Chinese, China’s demands to shop the trade led to war. British warships had the latest technology and China was defeated. Britain then forced China to open more ports to trade and to give Britain the port of Hong Kong. The Taiping Rebellion Weakens China The peasant revolt known as the Taiping Rebellion nearly toppled the Qing dynasty and led to the deaths of 20–30 million Chinese. As a result, the Qing government had to share power with regional commanders.

The New Imperialism Section 5: China and the New Imperialism Color Transparency 148: The Great Powers Divide China Launching Reform Efforts When it became obvious that China was no match for Western powers or a modernized Japan, imperialists rushed to carve out spheres of influence along the coast. The U.S. introduced an Open Door Policy to keep Chinese trade open. In 1898, emperor Guang Xu began a reform program to modernize China called the Hundred Days of Reform, but the Conservatives soon retook control.

A Chinese nationalist movement was growing and led to the birth of a republic after the empress Ci Xi died. Progress Monitoring Transparency Empress Ci Xi
