Also in east Asia . . . Treaty of Annexation (August 22, 1910) The Proclamation Notwithstanding the earnest and laborious work of reforms in the administration of Korea in which the Governments of Japan and Korea have been engaged for more than four years since the conclusion of the Agreement of 1905, the existing system of government in that country has not proved entirely equal to the duty of preserving public order and tranquillity; and in addition, the spirit of suspicion and misgiving dominates the whole peninsula. In order to maintain peace and stability in Korea, to promote the prosperity and welfare of Koreans, and at the same time to ensure the safety and repose of foreign residents, it has been made abundantly clear that fundamental changes in the actual regime of government are absolutely essential. The Governments of Japan and Korea, being convinced of the urgent necessity of introducing reforms responsive to the requirements of the situation and of furnishing sufficient guarantee for the future, have, with the approval of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor of Korea, concluded, through their plenipotentiaries, a treaty providing for complete annexation of Korea to the Empire of Japan. By virtue of that important act, which shall take effect on its promulgation on August 29, 1910, the Imperial Government of Japan shall undertake the entire government and administration of Korea, and they hereby declare that the matters relating to foreigners and foreign trade in Korea shall be conducted in accordance with the following rules:

In SE ASIA The Dutch control IndonesiaBy the early 19th century, the Dutch East India Company established control of the 3,000 mile long chain of Islands known as Indonesia and established plantations producing sugar cane, coffee, cocoa, rubber, coconuts, bananas, and pineapple.The British control MalaysiaIn order to compete with the Dutch holdings in Indonesia, the British sought to gain a foot hold in South East Asia.Using Singapore as a trading base, Britain soon gained control of the Malay Peninsula and Burma, where they developed businesses based on rubber, tin, and teak.The British encouraged the immigration of Chinese to Malaysia to work in tin mines and tap rubber trees. As a result Malays eventually became a minority in their own land and tensions between Chinese and native Malays remains unresolved to this day. The French control IndochinaThe French began direct rule of Vietnam after seven French missionaries were killed during the reign of an anti-Christian emperor.Church leaders and French businesses interested in expanding overseas markets demanded military intervention.The French military invaded Southern Vietnam and occupied it. Later they expanded their control to include North Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, which collectively became French Indochina.Rice became a cash-crop. The conversion to this cash crop economy was so large scale that despite four times as much land being devoted to rice, due to exportation the native consumption of rice actually declined.

The Philippines After defeating the Spanish in the Spanish Am War, the U.S. had only maintained control over Manila and its surrounding provinces. The rest of the islands were controlled by the Filipinos. President William McKinley then ordered the War Department to place the rest of the islands under military control. He issued the Benevolent Assimilation Proclamation which, although outwardly expressing friendship and offering guidance to the Philippine people, was actually a declaration asserting American dominance of the islands.

The Filipinos refuse to recognize American sovereignty. On February 4, 1899, an American soldier shot at a Filipino soldier crossing a bridge onto American territory. This marked the beginning of the Philippine-American War. At this time, the ratification of the Treaty of Paris was pending, and McKinley used this event, stating that the Filipinos had instigated the incident, to garner support for the treaty. It was ratified by the Senate within two days. The Filipinos, led by Aguinaldo, waged a fierce battle against American troops for three years. Aguinaldo resorted to guerilla warfare and despite being victorious in several battles, was eventually captured . President Theodore Roosevelt, who had become president upon McKinley’s assassination, then issued the official Peace Proclamation ending the war on July 4, 1902. However, it wasn’t until 1913 that resistance and guerilla warfare on the outskirts of the Philippines officially subsided. The casualties suffered on both sides during the Philippine-American War were more numerous than during the relatively peaceful Spanish-American War. Over 4,000 American troops, 20,000 Filipino soldiers, and 500,000 Filipino civilians died over the course of the war. U.S. military training at their fort in the Philippines

The Boer Wars in South Africa The Boers opposed the British rule in the Cape Colony, especially after 1833, when the British government made slavery illegal in the Cape Colony. This forced the Boers to emigrate from the Cape Colony. Piet Retief and his followers established the Republic of Natalia. In May 1842, British forces invaded the Republic of Natalia and converted it into a British colony. From Natal, many Boers again trekked northwards to the Orange River, where they established two states, namely Transvaal and the Orange Free State, respectively. However, as a result of the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902), both Transvaal and the Orange Free State became British colonies.
In some parts of their empires, Europeans established settler colonies. (such as the British in southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand, or the French in Algeria) • foreign family units “settle” in • tended to stay permanently • Focus more on farming/ranching not extracting raw materials • in settler colonies “the invading Europeans (or their descendants) annihilated, displaced and/or marginalized the indigenes to become a majority non-indigenous population
As opposed to . . . • exploitation colonies • European ‘settlers' consisted of a relatively small but powerful group of white planters • concerned mainly with managing and supervising the exploitation of resources as well as safeguarding the geo-political interests of the state. • Europeans seldom remained on after the end of their mission. • Nigeria and India are examples of colonies of occupation where although indigenous people were the majority, they were ruled by a foreign power

Rudyard Kipling, "The White Man's _____________" published in McClure's Magazine, Feb. 1899 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. Take up the White Man's burden-- In patience to abide, To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain, To seek another's profit And work another's gain. . . . Take up the White Man's burden– And reap his old reward-- The blame of those ye better The hate of those ye guard-- The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:-- "Why brought ye us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?" Take up the White Man's burden-- Ye dare not stoop to less-- Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloak your weariness. By all ye will or whisper, By all ye leave or do, The silent sullen peoples Shall weigh your God and you. . . .
