Disease and Imperialism in Africa       Diseases were prevalent in Africa during the time of European Imperialism. Disease affected both natives and European peoples in Africa. African diseases affected both natives and European explorers and soldiers as well as diseases brought by the Europeans that affected the Africans.       Numerouks diseases impadcted the Europeans in Africa during the time of Imperialism.  During the time of Imperialism many explorers and soldiers died of disease

The Scramble for Africa, also known as the Race for Africa, was the systematic process of invasion, occupation, colonization, and annexation of African territory by European powers during the New Imperialism period, between 1881 and the start of World War I in 1914. The Europeans referred Africa the ‘Dark Continent’ because it was a mystery to them. This connection got mixed up with the more sinister idea that Africa was a place where the inhabitants were savage and brutal. Europeans, after the

1800’s, was starting for a land grab in the African continent. Around 1878, most of Africa was unexplored, but by 1914, most of Africa, with the lucky exception of Liberia and Ethiopia, was carved up between European powers. There were countless motivations that spurred the European powers to carve Africa, like economical, political, and socio–cultural, and there were countless attitudes towards this expansion into Africa, some of approval and some of condemnation. Europe in this period was a world

control of regions in Africa and set up colonies there. In the beginning, colonization caused the Africans little harm, but before long, the Europeans started to take complete control of wherever they went. The Europeans used their advanced knowledge and technology to easily maneuver through the vast African landscape and used advanced weapons to take control of the African people and their land. The countries that claimed the most land and had the most significant effect on Africa were France, England

In the nineteenth century, following its abolition and suppression, the collapse of the profitable slave trade, and the expansion of the European capitalist Industrial Revolution, along with the motivation of economic, social, and political success, the European imperialists moved into Africa. The laws of capitalist industrialization-including

Called the Scramble for Africa, this was a period between 1880 and 1900 of rapid colonization of the African continent by European powers. (Boddy-Evans, 2015). The primary motivation for European intrusion of Africa was the exploitation of its resources (DeeJayAllah, 2015). The end of the European trading of slaves left a need for commerce between Europe and Africa, and a new legitimate trade now had to be encouraged between the two continents. (Boddy-Evans, 2015). European explorers located vast

For centuries, Europe has long tried to institute its rule and its religion in Africa. This began with the triangle trade of Europe and its colonies and Africa. Africa had tremendous natural resources which were desired by Europe, like diamonds and gold. The promise of new wealth drew European countries to invade and conquer nations in Africa, and exploit those goods. European countries had visions of Africa as being a new Europe, to be achieved by implementing Christianity through missionaries,

power in their own territory, and African languages and cultures were lost and replaced with European languages and cultures. The positive and negative effects of imperialism on the Africans were caused by the modernization of their communities, the establishment of European rulers, and the religion and education the Europeans brought to Africa. Modernization the Europeans brought in affected the Africans positively. The Africans now had a

rule to keep their colonies. France established a Governor-General in French West Africa. He was based in Senegal, which borders Mali to the East. The Governor-General in Dakar, which is the capital of Senegal, was to take orders and to report to the Minister of Colonies and the French Government. A very small amount of Africans participated in French national affairs. All Africans living in French West Africa were called subjects of France, and not citizens. The French thought that the native

European’s conquered Africa because they wanted to increase their sphere of influence by acquiring empires. Africa has encountered conquest, colonization,
