Europeans dominated the African continent for centuries. The white man tried to “civilize” Africa by making themselves superior to other races. They created a rule that non-white races must obey them. This gave Europeans to the power to rob the continent of a huge amount of its riches and inflict a tremendous amount of suffering on Africans.

    Europe, in the late 1800’s, was starting a land grab on the African continent. Around 1878, most of Africa was unexplored, but by 1914, most of Africa, with the lucky exception of Liberia and Ethiopia, was carved up between European powers. There were countless motivations that spurred the European powers to carve Africa, like economic, political, and socio–cultural, and there were countless attitudes towards this expansion into Africa, some of approval and some of condemnation.

    During the nineteenth century, Europe had made its way into an age of industrialization, Great Britain being the leader, making progress to resemble the modern era. With the new innovations and technologies, profits soared and industries thrived, but the laboring class had suffered at the cost of modern industry. Before factories started rising all over Europe, and even before the establishment of factories solely near a water source, the “factories” of that time were in the homes of rural laborers, engaged in the putting-out system in which they manufactured textiles in the comforts of their own homes. However, when these new factories had opened, the putting-out system was no match for the factories that were producing goods ten times faster than the production in the homes of rural people. Being forced to move into the urban cities, workers came to the realization that they did not enjoy the environment and conditions of the factories because of the disadvantages they imposed in comparison to working at home. In addition to these problems, much of Europe had just recovered from

    According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, culture is, “the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group, or the characteristic features of everyday existence shared by people in a place or time.” Culture links individual people with common traditions and morals, incorporating fundamental aspects of society such as holidays, meals, and the mode of dress. It is intrinsic in the very identity of humans. Throughout history, the West unexpectedly rose to power rather than the flourishing empires of Asia. It is my belief that these traits and customs associated with culture are the underlying reason for the rise of the West.

  • The Impact Of European Imperialism

    1344 Words  | 3 Pages

    New Imperialism began in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and was a time when European powers began to pursue a structured (more formal) political control over other areas. Yet it is important to keep in mind that informal empires tend to have an expiration date. As time progresses, history shows us that one of the parties involved will start pushing for change, whether that change is for power or independence is based on the side that provoked the change. In this case, the party that pushed for change was the superior one. The push for power was motivated by greed and an overwhelming desire to control every aspect of valuable foreign areas. One of the biggest moments in the history of colonization was the ‘Scramble for Africa’, as historians (and Professor Hopkins) refer to it as. As slaves were the biggest resource of the time, the banning of slave trade in Africa in the early nineteenth century caused European disinterest in continent that they were once heavily dependent on. Although there were localized replacements, like ivory trading, they were not as effective in keeping Europe’s interest. As a result, Africa was desperate to be relevant again, their economy depended on it. Because of the ban on the slave trade, there was a sudden demographic collapse of middle aged persons, which was also counterproductive to the growth of the continent. Before the scramble, Africa was naturally
