  1. Test Trivia #1

  2. Question #1 • What is the who, what, where, and HS of imperialism?

  3. Answer to question #1 • According to my lecture imperialism is the efforts of capitaliststates in the West to seize markets, cheap raw materials, and lucrative avenues for investment in countries beyond Western civilization…bear in mind though, the motives were not always economic…the spreading of ‘western’ ideals and so on was one as well…why was it significant?

  4. Question #2 • What is the who, what, where, and HS of direct v. indirect rule?

  5. Answer to question #2 • Well, both were by-products of the imperial/colonial system. They were basically the way western countries chose to control their imperial holdings. Direct rule was one where the ‘local elites were removed from power and replaced with a new set of officials recruited from the mother country.’ (516) The French had a habit of doing this in Southeast Asia. Indirect rule was one where the local elites’ ‘loyalty could be earned, or purchased, by economic rewards’ (516) and the imperial power did not have to worry about ruling directly…they just sat back and let the proceeds roll in…the Brits had a habit of doing this in India…

  6. Question #3 • The individual who left a massive estate to create a worldwide British Empire to ‘civilize’ the world was…

  7. Answer to question #3 • Cecil Rhodes (514)…oh, and he also was famous for saying that his “ruling purpose {was} the extension of the British empire throughout the world”…

  8. Question #4 • What is the who, what, where, and HS of social Darwinism?

  9. Answer to question #4 • Social Darwinism was a termed coined by Herbert Spencer who based it off of the studies of Charles Darwin. Herbert took Darwin’s theory of natural selection and applied it to human societies…basically stating that human societies evolve as well and that only the best and strongest of societies survive…like the West…social Darwinism was oftentimes used to justify the brutality of imperialism…

  10. Question #5 • The missionary who urged Europeans to introduce the ‘three C’s’ was…

  11. Answer to question #5 • David Livingstone…what were the ‘three C’s again?

  12. Question #6 • Quinine was used by Europeans to provide partial immunity from…

  13. Answer to question #6 • Malaria…well why would this matter? There was no malaria in Europe…

  14. Question #7 • What is the who, what, where, and HS of the opium trade and the Opium Wart…I did this on purpose…

  15. Answer to question #7 • The Opium trade in China took off when the Brits realized they could 1.)make a huge profit off of selling it there…despite the fact that the Chinese government did not want it being sold in their country due to the high addiction rates…and 2.)use it as a means to gain more trade access to China, which had previously only allowed Westerners limited access. The Chinese attempted several passive actions to get the opium out of their country…when these were unsuccessful, they blockaded Canton…since a significant amount of the people in Canton were Brits, the Brits used this as an excuse to invade China and force it to open itself up fully to trade with the West . The invasion became known as the Opium War (1839-1842) and resulted in the defeat of China and the beginning of it’s ‘century of humiliation’

  16. Question #8 • The so-called ‘barren rock’ which Great Britain gained as a result of the Opium War was…

  17. Answer to question #8 • Hong Kong

  18. Question #9 • The ‘Open Door’ Policy served to do what exactly in China…this is a tough one, but let’s try…

  19. Answer to question #9 • It actually served to calm the increasingly frantic and uncontrolled pace of Western imperialism in China…it WAS NOT an altruistic effort on the part of the United States to preserve China’s independence.

  20. Question #10 • What is the who, what, where, and HS of the Boxer Rebellion?

  21. Answer to question #10 • Ah, the Boxer Rebellion…another event in the ‘century of China’s humiliation’. The rebellion began in China’s northern countryside by a secret society made up of young Chinese men who were avidly against western imperial domination and western missionary activities in their country. Basically, they wanted the west to get the hell out…the rebels attacked foreign residents as well as besieging the ‘foreign legation quarter in Beijing’ (546). The rebellion was crushed when a mixed expeditionary force of westerners was able to reestablish control.

  22. Question #11 • The capital under the Meiji restoration in Japan was moved from…

  23. Answer to question #11 • Kyoto to Tokyo

  24. Question #12 • After the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan, what happened to the mass of the rural population in Japan…

  25. Answer to question #12 • They were transformed from indentured servants into citizens…this was primarily due to the fact that one of the new modernizing policies of the Meiji Restoration was the confiscation of the lands controlled by the daimyos!!!
