![Page 3: Imperialism in Africa By: Hee Jae Choi, Billy Park, Soho Char, Brian Kwon WH 9A 1/16/09.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e415503460f94b33755/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Europe’s Situation• With the Industrial Revolution kicking off in Europe,
European’s 1st motive: obtain necessary resources needed to keep Ind.Rev. going.
• In a competition with each other, European nations’ 2nd motive: TO EXPAND
- By taking over these necessary resources, Europe planned to further expand economically.
- By colonizing foreign territories, European nations struggled to develop political power.
- Wanted to push expansion through means of westernization & further gain control.

The Perfect Solution: AFRICA1. Africa was vast & rich in resources.• RESOURCES: gold, diamonds, tin• CASH CROPS: cocoa, palm oil, peanuts, rubber
2. Africa was vulnerable = easy to take over.• It was divided into hundreds of ethnical &
linguistic groups – lacked sense of unison. 3. Africa was inferior & poorly developed.Racism: European nations wished to “civilize” Africa
through westernization & spreading Christianity.

1884-85 Berlin Conference

• Agreed to divide by notifying other nations of their claims & showing they could control area.

![Page 8: Imperialism in Africa By: Hee Jae Choi, Billy Park, Soho Char, Brian Kwon WH 9A 1/16/09.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e415503460f94b33755/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Europe’s View on This Topic
• European nations are the best in this world; therefore, it is their duty to spread their ways in uncivilized foreign areas like Africa.
• Africa = perfect target for obtaining resources that they need for Industrial Revolution
• Has all the needed weapons to conquer Africa.
• Reinforcement:

Africa’s Point of View
• Europe disregarding African native groups • Unjust to devour Africa amongst
themselves w/o any notification.• Unfair to take away Africa from the natives
= a land of their ancestors• Not right to force down unwanted help
