Quote BreakdownCan you determine what a historical figure is saying?After having witnessed European imperialism,

Edward Morel, author of the book “The Black Man’s Burden” issued this quote relating to European imperialism.

After I have read the quote the first time, go back over the quote and try to put the quote into your own words. Try and figure out what Morel is telling people in his quote. (10 points)

You can reread the quote using page 348 in your textbook.

Edward Morel’s Quote“Nor is violent physical opposition to abuse and

injustice henceforth possible for the African in any part of Africa. His chances of effective resistance have been steadily dwindling with the increasing perfectibility in the killing power of modern armament.

Thus the African is really helpless against the material gods of the white man, as embodied in the trinity of imperialism, exploitation, and militarism.”

New Period of ImperialismEuropean countries tried new forms of

control to take over Africa.Reasons:

Wanted to shape the economies of African countries so they could become richer.

Wanted African people to become European by accepting European beliefs and ideas.

Changes in European ControlDifferent Ideas and Beliefs

Each European nation had different rules and goals for controlling parts of Africa.

of the four types of control Europeans had over African countries that they took over, complete the four corner graphic organizer and the two columned graphic organizer I have provided to each of you.

Using pages 345 to 347 in your textbooks, complete both graphics organizers by reading about all six different types of control and put the most important information into each graphic organizer so you understand each type of control.

Paternalism Versus AssimilationPaternalismEuropeans ruled

Africans and acted like their parents.

Took away Africans rights, but gave them everything.

AssimilationEuropean idea that

over time Africans would act and look like them.

Timelines of ResistanceAs Europeans began taking more land and control

of Africa and its people, African tribes tried more and more to resist European imperialism.

Directions: Working in pairs, create a timeline using poster paper, that shows in what order African resistance began, continued, and eventually ended.Use the map of Africa on page 349 in your textbooks to

help you see the different resistance movements that occurred and in what year they occurred.

Take the information and transform it into a timeline that others could study and understand how African resistance spread and changed.

Resistance Timeline: Questions to Consider

Using the timeline and map on page 349, work with your partner to answer the questions below on your timeline.

1. Over a period of how many years did Africans attempt to resist European control? Why?

2. Why would Africans continue to resist despite losing so many times?

3. Looking at the timeline, which resistance movement lasted the longest? Why do you think this is?

4. Looking at the timeline, why would so many different resistance movements overlap at the same times?

5. Evaluate the resistance movements, do you think the resistance of Africans helped or harmed Africa? Explain in a paragraph.
