    1. _________

    1. Imperialism is a political philosophy or ideology


    (synonyms) that was followed by the United
    States and Europe during the last part of the
    1800s and early 1900s. This philosophy
    encouraged the US and Europe to control less
    developed areas of the world (especially in Africa
    and China).
    2. The two major reasons why the US and Europe
    engaged in these imperialistic practices were:
    a. Because of the Industrial Revolution, the
    developed world (US and Europe) needed
    new sources of raw materials to use in
    factories

    ___
    2. ___________

    3. ___________

    b. Many Westerners believed it was their


    duty to teach the uncivilized Africans
    and Chinese how to be Christian and how
    to live more like Westerners (which was
    considered better)
    3. Many parts of Africa and China benefited from
    this control in that they had new jobs and new
    infrastructure (schools, roads, etc) built by
    Westerners.
    4. However, most native people were exploited for
    money and forced to give up their culture in
    exchange for the above benefits.

    Part I: The Age of Imperialism


    The Age of Imperialism was a time period beginning around 1870 when modern, relatively developed nations
    were taking over less developed areas, colonizing them, or influencing them in order to expand their own
    power. Although imperialist practices have existed for thousands of years, the term "Age of Imperialism"
    generally refers to the activities of nations such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the
    United States in the early 18th through the middle 20th centuries, e.g., the "The Great Game" in Persian lands,
    the "Scramble for Africa" and the "Open Door Policy" in China.

    Part II: Reasons and Justifications for Imperialism


    A controversial aspect of imperialism is the imperial powers defense and justification of such actions. J. A.
    Hobson identifies this justification:
    It is desirable that the earth should be peopled, governed, and developed, as far as possible, by the races
    which can do this work best, i.e. by the races of highest 'social efficiency'.
    This is clearly the racial argument, which pays heed to other ideas such
    as the White Mans Burden prevalent at the turn of the twentieth
    century. A poem, The White Mans Burden appears to be a command
    to white men to colonize and rule other nations for the benefit of those
    people. Both the people and the duty may be seen as representing the
    "burden" of the title. Because of its theme and title, it has become
    emblematic (symbolic) both of Eurocentric racism and of Western
    aspirations to dominate the developing world.

    The White Mans Burden


    Take up the White Man's burden-Send forth the best ye breed-Go bind your sons to exile
    To serve your captives' need;
    To wait in heavy harness,
    On fluttered folk and wild-Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
    Half-devil and half-child.

    Another major reason for European and American Imperialism was the need of
    these countries for raw materials to fuel their further industrialization.
    Essentially, imperialist powers used their influence to funnel raw materials from
    the countries they controlled overseas back to their home countries to be
    turned into manufactured goods. These goods were then shipped back overseas
    to the controlled countries to be sold for a profit.

    Part III: The Scramble for Africa


    The Scramble for Africa, also known as the Race for Africa was a process of invasion, occupation, colonization and
    annexation of African territory by European powers during the New Imperialism period, between 1881 and World War I
    in 1914. The last 59 years of the 19th century saw transition from the Indirect Rule through military influence and
    economic dominance to that of direct rule.
