Just some rough notes over the course of the two podcasts... old imperialism, areas were not taken over politically, settling with trading posts. 1880-1940 is new imperialism starts in asia 1870s, Europeans own 80%, Britain owned 25%! Reasons for Imperialism 1.)Economic (New Markets, Raw Materials) 2.)Religion 3.)Political competition/ Social Darwinism (German/Itally way behind) 4.)White mans burden.
Africa was divided up into counties by the Europeans, leading to tribal conflict, Leopold takes over Belgium and exploits the snot out of it for Belgium. Rubber harvesting was brutal, Ex. Women held hostage, men harvest or die. 10,000,000 people die due to Leopold. Scramble for Africa, competition for land in Africa by Europeans, Britain makes Egypt a Protectorate, basically ruling it for a while.Belgians have Congo, British have Egypt. Some kid has a cool helmet.... GOOD FOR YOU CHILD! Effective occupation, once you doit right the first time, Europeans cant take it from each other. fa showda incident, France and British meet up while colonizing. Diamonds move the British to Push the Boyers out of the way, one of the first white on white action in Africa. German is like woohoo way to beat the British,Keiserville has to apologize.Quing dynasty rule china, China doesnt want any of the stuff Britain, so the sell opium by mass importing it.Great Britain get Hong Kong. Hong Kong has become Capitalist example of the world. 20 million people perrish in the rebellion in 14 years.
