There are many reasons why Europeans colonized Africa. One reason why they colonized Africa is so they could take people and use them as slaves. Europeans got slaves by either, buying people from their tribes or, using force and taking them. The Europeans did this so they could take the slaves to mines and farms in Africa or they took them back to Europe and use them as laborers for themselves or they would sell the slaves to other Europeans and make money off of selling them. They did this because people needed slave laborers to manage their farms or help work in their mines. Another way Europeans wanted to colonize Africa was for economic reasons like new markets, trade and they wanted raw materials. They took

The first positive impact European Imperialism had on the world is education. Before European colonization and the introduction of Western education, traditional educational systems still existed in Africa The average African child was taught basic survival skills necessary to survive in the traditional society. They were taught how to fish, trade and crafts, etc. (Education Western Africa.) Although already knew

In conclusion, European imperialism had a both positive and negative effect on Africa and Asia, while the majority of people fail to comprehend the positive facet of the topic. Europe introduced education, religion, trade, and government to the people, but the way in which they forced these things upon the native people is where they went wrong. When they forced themselves on the native people it ruined the interactions between

European Imperialization had an entirely different effect on Africa, Latin America, and Asia. People of these countries endored lots of hard work, and lost their culture, land, and self respect. A negative effect is seen in Document two, a picture called "Learning civilized ways is hard work." In the picture you can see an Asain and an African pulling around a seated European. For the native poeple colonization ment doing the European’s hard work. Natvie people were used as a form of cheap, and somtimes even slave labor. The Africans, Latin Americans, and Asians had no freedom, they were completly controlled by the Europeans. This did not civilize the smaller contries. All of the promisies and benifits sated in

“Other nations have hostile against us, hampering our power, limiting our greatness and checking the fulfillment of our manifest destiny to overspread the continent”(Doc A Para 2). United States were fighting over Mexican to reclaim Texas to be part of the country. In July 1845, John L. O’Sullivan feels like the US should annexing Texas and California (Doc A Para 1). He thought that the Mexicans were dumb because they didn’t have any government authority over a country. The Mexico wanted to expand their lands. The invasion took place in April 24th when sixteen American were killed and wounded (Doc B Para 4). The argument is Americans justified in going to war with Mexico. The United States was justified in going to war with Mexico because territory,slaves, and invasion.

Prior to the arrival of the Europeans, people around the world lived with awful conditions, as they lacked more modern innovations. Such innovations included indoor plumbing, roads, and faster means of transportations (Hobson 103). With the Europeans introducing the native people to these types of inventions, it’s clear that positive development ensued, as only good can come from many things that the Europeans had brought with them. Especially in Africa, which came almost completely under European control in 1884 following the Berlin Conference, the territories developed for the better. Indoor plumbing, among many other things brought better sanitations, ultimately leading to less disease (Lynn). Developed roads and faster means of transportation, including steam boats to move goods from continent to continent, meant it was considerably easier to maintain international trade. With faster transportation, Africans were introduced to a number of products that had previously been unavailable, because of the length of time needed to ship them. They were also able to export goods, typically through the European nation that was controlling them, which brought in a new source of income (Said 114). Imperialism often did good for the people living in in areas that were significantly

What would it take for one country and their people to do whatever is necessary to attain freedom and rules that would pertain to a better future? Throughout the revolutions, these questions have been answered, but fight after fight is the most noticeable action as seen so far in the chapter. This leads to the question, how would a new government cause issues, instead of helping? Latin America faced many issues dealing with independence and struggled in many areas and needed to develop a new strategy, so the issues with independence can be resolved. However, the development of the nation did not occur well due to the structure of their new government and the people wanted them to know that the old system was what they were looking for and the treatment of the people was not stable.

I would describe the American South society between the years 1800 and 1860 in a multitude of different ways. From the decadent and luxurious lifestyles of the elite aristocrat planters in the upper south. This group were more concerned with their own social status among others within the elite group of planters. The market driven planters of the Lower South who grew cotton and other high valued crops, they were geared more towards capitalistic principles. And, to yeoman farmers who were usually tenants of the wealthier estates.

There was tension between Mexico and America, for land and who owned it. Mexico had given some land to America, but the Americans had assumed they got all of Mexico, but they didn’t so they all went into a big war just because of a misunderstanding. The U.S. was not justified in going to war with Mexico. One reason they didn’t want to fight in the war was because of all the land they could get to expand slavery. Doc D is a speech by Joshua Giddings the date was on May 23, 1846. Doc D says “...he (President Polk) has been guilty in ordering our army to invade a country with which we are at peace, and of provoking and bringing on this war.” This quote is saying that the president

It is the year 2030 everything is changing the governments globally are tearing apart. And so many countries are at war, America is willing to go on and help the people who are in need by colonizing countries/continents. But It’s now up to me as a member of the government committee to approve whether or not America as a nation should go in to colonizing the continent of South America. As a result of what happened in Africa between the 1870s and 1900, The United States should not colonize developing continents like South America because the citizens will their lose freedom, resources and traditional cultures

Why would anyone want to go through the trouble of colonizing? The English had such motives that compelled them to leave their motherland. It was for the reasons of seeking freedom, seeing there was nothing in Britain for them, and success accessed by other nations.

America should not colonize South America because America could take away people’s home trying to get the resources they need and destroying their agriculture in the process. Over a period in time Africa's agriculture suffered as well as their trade because they didn’t have enough workers. (Things Fall Apart, 2012). The natives agriculture failed because of the Europeans being their and because they were getting killed by the British and the other tribes. When the natives started to stand up for themselves they got their villages destroyed. “Although they had some success, the British put down the movement by arresting its leaders and destroying their villages.” (McDougal Littell, 2009)

If prompted with the question what is colonization and or how did Europe and America colonize different countries and peoples the answer might be as simple as: it was the process of taking land from other countries and pushing to change the peoples of those countries towards western ways. This answer is to simple, a lot of people do not know the motives behind colonizing another country. Even though the motives behind colonizing another country depend on the time and location of the colonizing, Europe and America have always set above every other country around the world. They title themselves as being superior to all others. Thus, a lot of countries bought into the western ways and believe Westerners to be “demigod”. In Michael Adas essay, Contested Hegemony: The Great War and the Afro-Asian Assault on the Civilizing-Mission, even though the focus is on the ups and downs of colonization in Asia and Africa. The essay looks at the motives behind colonizing these peoples, why some bought into the idea and how World War One changed everything for Europe, Asia and Africa in terms of colonization.
