Imperialism in Africa
![Page 36: Nationalism & Imperialism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56816024550346895dcf2a90/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Imperialism in AfricaMain Ideas:• Ignored the claims of
African ethnic groups, kingdoms, and city-states
• Europeans established colonial claims
Why it matters today:• African nations continue
to feel the effects of the colonial presence of 100 years ago.
![Page 37: Nationalism & Imperialism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56816024550346895dcf2a90/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
How did it happen?• Explorers, missionaries, and reporters go in to Africa• Some make claims on the land• Greed, nationalism, racism, and philanthropy motivate
European colonialism.• Superior arms, the steam engine, medicines, and
African rivalries help Europeans dominate Africa• Berlin Conference divides land among European
nations• Divisions ignore ethnic and linguistic groupings• Europeans take advantage of the natural resources• Africans treated cruelly, exploited, and subject to
unfair battles
![Page 38: Nationalism & Imperialism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56816024550346895dcf2a90/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Did they ever resist?
• Of course!• However, there was a lack of organization
and weapons• Ethiopia was successful
– played Europeans against one another– meanwhile stockpiled weapons– eventually declared war on the Italians & won
![Page 39: Nationalism & Imperialism](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050820/56816024550346895dcf2a90/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

• “They may torture my body, break my bones, or even kill me. Then, they will have my body, but not my obedience”
• In the end, you (the British) will walk out (leave India) because 100,000 Englishmen simply cannot control 350 million Indians if those Indians refuse to cooperate. Peaceful, nonviolent, noncooperation until you yourself see the wisdom of leaving.”
