World History Imperialism ProjectName ___________________________In the 1800s many European countries, as well as Japan and the United States, engaged in Imperialism – they gained control of weaker countries around the world. Once they had control of these weaker countries, the powerful nations encouraged their citizens to move to these colonies to work and live. This project will allow you to explore the reasons for imperialism, and the specific reasons why people moved to these colonies. You will use your textbook and online resources to conduct research on a specific colonized country, and utilize propaganda techniques to create a travel poster that could have been used in the 19th century to convince people to relocate to this colony.
