The New Imperialism Section 1 Summary: Building Overseas Empires Witness History Audio: The White Man’s Burden Witness History Audio: Empire Builders Motives Driving the New Imperialism European Imperialism grew out of a number of causes. The Industrial Revolution required natural resources not available in the home countries; the need for naval bases around the world and for prestige also furthered imperialism; missionaries sought to convert more souls; and social Darwinism made the idea of conquering other peoples more acceptable.

The Rapid Spread of Western Imperialism Although a small group of Westerners were against colonialism, most were willing to take advantage of its perks, and conquering other lands proved quite easy. Several older civilizations were in decline during the time of Imperialism, and European powers had powerful armies and navies with technical advances such as the Maxim machine gun.

Direct rule involved sending soldiers from the home country to control the population of the colony. Indirect rule used sultans, chiefs, or other local rulers to oversee operations in the colony. In a protectorate, local rulers followed the advice of their European advisors on issues of trade or missionary activity. Progress Monitoring Transparency

The New Imperialism Section 2 Summary: The Partition of Africa Witness History Audio: Resisting Imperialism Africa in the Early 1800 s When imperialists arrived in Africa, they met many different peoples who spoke hundreds of languages and had many different forms of government. Muslims had conquered or influenced much of North, East, and West Africa, but the Ottoman empire was in decline. In southern Africa the Zulus had expanded their control, but they in turn came to be dominated by the technology of the Boers.

European Contact Increases African resistance, difficult terrain, and diseases kept Europeans from much of the interior regions of the continent in the early stages of imperialism. Explorers finally pushed into the interior, followed soon after by missionaries. Dr. David Livingstone was both an explorer and missionary who wrote about Africa’s people and opposed the slave trade.

A Scramble for Colonies King Leopold II arranged trade treaties with African leaders and soon monopolized the Congo. This started the scramble for colonies by other European nations. An agreement about the process of colonizing Africa was reached at the Berlin Conference in 1884.

Britain then forced China to open more ports to trade and to give Britain the port of Hong Kong. The Taiping Rebellion Weakens China The peasant revolt known as the Taiping Rebellion nearly toppled the Qing dynasty and led to the deaths of 20– 30 million Chinese. As a result, the Qing government had to share power with regional commanders.
