6. Slide (3) Examples include the European (France, England, Portugal) domination of regions of North & South America after discovery of the "new world," the rule and expansion of the Roman Empire, Japan's dominance over the West Pacific pre WW II.

7. Slide (4) Colonial Imperialism: One country taking over another country usually by force. Cultural Imperialism: One country’s culture impacting another country’s culture. Political Imperialism: One country influences the government of another country. Economic Imperialism: One country key aspects of another country’s economy. Four different kinds of Imperialism

8. Slide (5) The Age of Imperialism During the 1500s and 1600s, European powers took over lands in Asia, Africa and the Americas. As you know, the British came to dominate North America and the Spanish dominated South America. The old imperialism began to die out . . When Imperialism began?

9. Slide (6) Economic Political Military Religious Social Five Motives of Imperialism

10. Slide (7) The Industrial Revolution sparked the beginning of Imperialism. Only industrialized countries became empires by grabbing other countries lands. Industrial Revolution

11. Slide (8) Asia, Africa, and Latin American Where did Imperialism happen?

12. Slide (9) What Imperialism is a foreign policy. You create empires or larger countries with colonies. For Example: European takes over other countries in Asia and Africa.

13. Slide (10) Only Industrialized countries could build Empires. Ships and guns game them a technological superiority over the people of Asia and Africa. The Navy was new during this time. Ships could now quickly sail to Asia and Africa. Industrial Revolution gave Europe the steamship. An imperialist country used its navy to conquer and control its colonies. How

14. Slide (11) How Imperialism happened? The Army – The control is achieved by military means. The imperialist country used military means to conquer countries.

15. Slide (12) Who : What countries were involved in Imperialism? The Imperialist powers were: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the US. England was the world’s first industrialized country. England became the leading imperialist power.

16. Slide (13) Because the British were the first to industrialize, they dominated world affairs during the 19th century. Who: Countries involved. The Colonizers England, as the world’s first industrial country, became the leading imperialist power. It was a 400-pound gorilla: The British were the first to undergo the Industrial Revolution. Because they were the first to industrialize, they dominated world affairs during the 19th century.

17. Slide 14 The Colonizers England, as the world’s first industrial country, became the leading imperialist power. It was a 400-pound gorilla: The British were the first to undergo the Industrial Revolution. Because they were the first to industrialize, they dominated world affairs during the 19th century.

18. Slide 15 Who The factory system stimulated imperialism. Britain’s factories need raw materials. Britain’s factories created a surplus of goods. They needed to dump their surplus on new markets. Britain searched the world for raw materials to feed its factories. This is why the British set up colonies in Asia and Africa.

19. The United States focused on two regions: The Pacific and the Caribbean. It seized the old Spanish Empire: Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico. It seized Hawaii A strategic spot in the Slide 16 Who

20. Slide 17 Why did the Europeans want colonies in Asia and Africa? Why . Economic Reasons The No. 1 motive was economic!  The Industrial Revolution The factory system encouraged imperialism: Factories needed raw materials. Asia and Africa could supply raw materials.

21. Slide 18 Economic Reasons The No. 1 motive was economic! Factories produced a surplus of manufactured goods. Goods could be sold in Asia and Africa. Factories produced a surplus of capital. Capital could be invested in Asia and Africa. Economic Reasons

22. Slide 19 IN: Colonies could provide raw materials. The countries are hungry for raw materials. The Industrial Revolution was a machine that had to be fed. Colonies had natural resources - the raw materials for factories. Asia and Africa were treasure chests of cotton, silk, rubber, tin, petroleum, and rare minerals. Economic Reasons

23. Slide 20 Big or larger Countries wanted more money. Economic Reasons

24. Slide 21 They also had cheap labor. Remember, these are the folks who employed child labor. Example: India produced cotton. OUT: Colonies could provide a market for surplus goods.

25. Slide 22 2. Political Reasons To Protect European investments You do not need to rule a country in order to buy from and sell to it. So why govern Asia and Africa? European investors insisted that their governments protect their investments. Example: As a result, the British sent the Royal Navy, planted the flag, and took over the government of India.

26. Slide 23 2. Political Reasons Build an Empire Each country wanted to build an empire bigger than the others’ empire. Example: The British Empire was the biggest. “The sun never set on the British Empire.” The French Empire tried to “outdo” the British. In the scramble for Africa, the French grabbed more land.

27. Slide 24 Political Reasons Recognition as a world power To improve their reputation among other European countries. To increase their political power and prestige - so the others would not roll over them.

28. Slide 25 Patriotic feeling, principles, or efforts. Nationalism is the political view that your own country is great, and you believe strongly in nations, and nation-like things (army, navy, etc.) Military / Political Reasons Nationalism

29. 3. Military Reasons National Security Every imperialist country was worried about its own national security: The competition among imperialist powers was vicious. One had to protect one’s own country and its colonies. Military Advantage Every imperialist country wanted to gain military advantage over its rivals. Slide 26 Military Reasons

30. Slide 27 Countries wanted strong naval bases – need more bases to have a large naval base. Need strong military. Military Reasons

31. Slide 28 Why some people were rich and some were poor: 1. People in a society must compete for survival. 2. The strong survive. Property was a sign of fitness. The rich were naturally superior. 3. The weak were unfit. Poverty was a sign of being unfit. The poor were naturally inferior. Cultural Reasons

32. Slide 29 Cultural Reasons Why some countries were rich and some were poor: 4. There were Superior Races (the British) 5. There were Inferior Races (the British colonies)

33. Slide 30 The Missionary Impulse Christianity is superior to all other religions. It is the duty of a Christian missionary to spread Christianity to Asia and Africa. Missionaries encouraged imperialism: They wanted to acquire territory in order to Christianize people. Religious Reasons

34. Slide 31 In 1899 U.S. Secretary of State John Hay proposed an "Open Door" policy in China in which all nations would have equal trading and development rights throughout all of China. Such a policy would put all the imperialist powers on equal footing in China and would limit the advantages of having ones own sphere of influence. As you read, think about how the Open Door policy might be seen as altruistic, and think about how it reflects American political and economic self-interest. The Open Door Notes (1899-1900)

35. Slide 32 The principle that all nations should have equal access to any of the ports open to trade in China had been stipulated in the Anglo-Chinese treaties. Great Britain had greater interests in China than any other power and successfully maintained the policy of the open door until the late 19th century. The Open Door Notes (1899-1900)

36. Slide 33 What is Social Darwinism? Another reason for Imperialism. What is Social Darwinism? individuals compete naturally. - the incompetent lose and the strong win. ie. “survival of the fittest”. Government must not interfere unless the unfit are stealing from the fit.

37. Social Darwinism says: Should the Government interfere with Business???? -By 1880 many Social Darwinists were saying “NO”?!?!? Others wanted the Government to get more involved in promoting Social Darwinism and Laissez-faire Social Darwinism Slide 34

38. Natural competition controls the economy. Government is not there to help people, but to support businesses. Big business can take over small business. Slide 35 Social Darwinism

39. (Slide 36) Positive effects of Imperialism • Natural Competition controls the economy. • NNNNAlthounynegative effects resulted from imperialism, there were some positive effects on the lives and welfare of the colonized people. • Slide 36 • European efforts to improve colonies resulted in improved sanitation and education. • Hospitals, schools, and factories were built creating more jobs for the people of Africa. • The amount of local warfare was reduced greatly due to control of the African government. • Order and peace were brought to the colonies • NNNNNNNN • Government is not there to help people, but to support business. • Big business can take over small business. • Ruthless methods are OK. • Natural Competition controls the economy. • Government is not there to help people, but to support business. • Big business can take over small business. • Ruthless methods are OK.

40. (Slide 37)Positive effects of Imperialism • The average life expectancy increased • Literacy rates rose. • Economic expansion occurred. • African products became available to the international market, allowing for colonies to become prosperous. • British control brought about some political stability and order for many African colonies.

41. (Slide 38) Negative Effects of Imperialism: • Africans lost control of their land and independence and were placed under the indirect rule of the British. • Many of the Africans died of new diseases, such as small pox, that were brought over by the British. That was because the Africans had no immunity to these diseases. • Often times the natives fought the British in battle in order to defend their way of life. Many people were lost to resisting the Europeans. • The demand of cash crops caused a shortage of food which led to famines.

42. (Side 39)Negative Effects of Imperialism: • Cultures and customs were broken down when traditional authority figures were replaced. • Homes and property were transferred to the authority of the British and the natives had little or no say in it. • Men were forced to leave their villages to support themselves and their family because their were no opportunities for high paying jobs because they were filled by the British.

43. (Slide 40)Negative Effects of Imperialism: • African culture was replaced by the European culture through the educational system causing traditions to become lax. • There was a division of African culture. Rivals were united while kinship and family members were split because of the artificial boundaries instated by the British. This caused a great amount of tension within regions.
