1 Imperialism Quickwrite What does this picture represent? Imperialism- The cultural, economic, or political domination by one country over another.

2 CA State Standard Describe the rise of industrial economies and their link to imperialism and colonialism (e.g., the role played by national security and strategic advantage; moral issues raised by the search for national hegemony, Social Darwinism, and the missionary impulse; material issues such as land, resources, and technology).

3 In Class Today Objective- What you should know by the end of class. How industrialism lead to Imperialism? The four motives of Imperialism?

4 Causes of Imperialism (Motives for Imperialism) Economics- promote the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Political/Nationalistic- desire to gain power and territory in the name of one s country Religion- Desire to convert people to Christianity so all can be saved. Social Darwinism- Belief that Europeans are superior to natives.

5 Economics- promote the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Africa European countries were seeking natural resources and new markets for their finished goods. They also needed refueling stations for their steamships. Gold, Copper, Coal, Diamonds, Ivory, Salt, Rubber, Oil, Slaves

6 Political/Nationalistic- desire to gain power and territory in the name of one s country Africa Each colonial power competed to claim new territory. Colonies symbolized prestige as well as security. Europeans possessed superior weapons (Maxim Gun) and steel steamships.

7 Religion- Desire to convert people to Christianity so all can be saved. Africa Missionaries followed explorers into Africa and sought to bring western religion, medicine and civilization to Africans. Europeans brought Christianity to the interior of Africa in order to save Africans-schools, churches, etc.

8 Social Darwinism- Belief that Europeans are superior to natives. Africa Europeans felt superior to Africans and other primitive cultures. It was the White Man s Burden to take care of the uncivilized. Social Darwinism implied natural selection to human beings- survival of the fittest (Europeans).

9 Closure What were four European motives for Imperialism? How did Industrialism lead to Imperialism? Video Linked to Picture

10 Homework this Week Homework this Week: 1. Apply the Motives for Imperializing to India and China. Explain each 2. Moodle- Explain how Imperialism benefitted the people of the Imperial Power. Now explain how Imperialism affected the people in the place being colonized. This could be a paragraph or so for each country, or you could write a dialogue between a colonizer and a person in the area being colonized. Make sure to include your understanding of how their experience was different! (Post to Moodle by Friday).

11 Quickwrite What were the four motives for Imperialism? Describe Imperialism from the perspective of the colonizer (European)

12 Icebreaker- Finger Grab Participants stand in a circle, arms out to the side. Left hand palm up, right index finger pointing down and touching on neighbor's outstretched palm. "When I say the word go, do two things... grab the finger in your left hand, and prevent your right finger from being grabbed [add suspense]... Go!".

13 Room Arrangement Room Arrangement Activity In groups of 5 (your row) meet at one of the desks in the back of the room. Follow the rules on the handout. 1)

14 Land (desk) Grab Debrief How did you feel during the activity? Why did you compete with the other groups to claim the furniture? Do you think this was a fair way to claim territory? Is there a better way? If there is leftover land, who should get it?

15 On the Hunt What are each of these two people thinking? Briefly describe Imperialism from the perspective of the native. Homework- I would like to check your retrieval charts for India today or tomorrow.

16 How was the desk activity like European Imperialism? The students (European powers) become caught up in a competitive race to claim pieces of furniture (African Territory). The students (colonial powers) used flags (national flags) to stake their claim. The students (colonial powers) claimed furniture (colonies) without knowing exactly how it would benefit them. One group of students (Britain) had an advantage (head start) and other students (other colonial countries) resented them. The students discussed fairness issues about ways to divide furniture- like the Berlin Conference of 1885)

17 The Quest for Empire Analyzing European Motives Review the motives for empire building- Political, Economic, Exploratory, Religious, and Ideological and draw a symbol for each on your worksheet. Today you will look at 15 written and visual artifacts and determine which motive is at work.

18 Procedure Today 1. Describe the placard. 2. Draw the symbol (from your front page). 3. An explanation for why you chose the motive

19 Quickwrite Describe the people pictured above. Who do you think they are? Why? How are they similar and how are they different? Homework- Moodle Post

20 Procedure Today 1. Describe the placard. 2. Draw the symbol (from your front page). 3. An explanation for why you chose the motive

21 Imperial Motives Debrief Find Someone you did not work with on Thursday and Friday and compare your answers on the Student Handout. If you disagree on a Motive, go to the artifact and explain each of your points of view. Adjust your responses accordingly.

22 Who do you think the pictured people represent? Quickwrite

23 Who is seated at the table? Who is standing in the back? Why is the standing person upset?

24 Who is running away and why are they running? King of the Hill

26 1. Complete this analogy based on our discussion of Imperialism, European Imperialism was like because. 2. Now draw a quick sketch for your analogy. The picture and simile to the right is an example of the assignment. The European scramble for Territory was like... an English serpent with its hands in countries all over the world, because England expanded its Empire around the globe.
