IMPERIALISM IN AFRICA



IMPERIALISM IN AFRICA (chapter 25; lesson 2)

Directions: Between 1800 and 1914, a powerful group of European countries came to control much of the world. This quest for land, overseas markets and national pride resulted in the colonization and division of Africa. Throughout this period, European leaders relied on racism, superior weaponry, enslavement and brutality to impose their rule throughout the continent. In so doing, they forever changed the people and cultures of the lands they conquered. In order to learn about the colonization and rule of Africa, complete the chart below.
