  2. AIM: What is imperialism? Ms. McMillan Global III January 3, 2012

  3. SECTION OVERVIEW From the mid-1800s through the first decades of the 1900s, western nations pursued an aggressive policy of expansion. European powers were motivated by a sense of nationalism. During this time, Britain took control of India. In Africa, several European nations engaged in a scramble for colonies. Meanwhile, imperialistic nations forced unequal trade agreements on China. Imperialism had many immediate and long-term effects on the colonial nations and also had an impact on Europe and the rest of the world. Imperialism led to increased competition and conflict.

  4. The New Imperialism Imperialism is the domination by one country of the political, economic, or cultural life of another country.

  5. The Old Imperialism • Between about 1500 and 1800, European nations established colonies in the Americas, India, and Southeast Asia and gained territories on the coasts of Africa and China. • Still, European power in these regions of the world was limited.

  6. The New Imperialism • Between 1870 and 1914, nationalism had produced strong, central governed nation-states. • The Industrial Revolution had made economies stronger as well. • Japan, the USA, and the industrialized nations of Europe became more aggressive in expanding into other lands. • The new imperialism was focused mainly in Asia and Africa, where declining empires and local wars left many states vulnerable. • In Africa, many states had been weakened by the legacy of the slave trade.

  7. CAUSES OF THE NEW IMPERIALISM • ECONOMY • Need for natural resources • Need for new markets • Place for a growing population to settle • Place to invest profits
