During this time, China was rich with natural resources and a large market to sell goods. European nations attempted to influence Chinese Royalty and slowly take control of land within the nation.  They lost several wars to britian and france(making it weaker to stronger foreign nations.) The europeans began using china's resources such as timber and gold, but also had their eyes set on one of their most valuable resources, trading ports. Some nations allowed China to collect taxes on goods that were being traded in their ports to keep the Chinese happy, however many became outraged at what they believed to be a foreign invasion. They began a rebellion to get rid of any Europeans or foreigners from china. They were known as the righteous harmony fists(the boxers) The alliance ended the rebellion in September of 1901 and forced China to hand over more territory and pay $300 million for damages. The Boxers that were captured were dealt with swiftly and harshly as executions were done in public.

Europeans used Africa for their own beneficial reasons. As said in source one, "Africa was a treasure chest of raw materials that Europeans to take and use to aid their market economies." The Europeans wanted to colonize the Africans. They ended the slave trade and tried looking for different ways to use Africa. Europeans saw Africa as a great place for raw materials, trade, and new markets. Africa was unable to fight back due to their inability to unify with other african nations and lack of techonology. Source 4 could support Europeans religion(christanity) or spreading the gospel.

Does Germany Need Colonies? Explain how this author makes the case for German Nationalism.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, in this article Fabri gives reasons to support the idea that Germany wants/sees colonization as a national/obligation. Colonization benefits both the economy and national development. The author believes germany needs to strive after colonies to maintain its new position of manufacturing greatness. Nationalism had both positive and negative effects on germany. As said, "But if political power becomes the primal goal of a nation, it will lead to harshness, even to barbarism." This means if gaining political power is the main goal, it will lead to brutality and extreme cruelty( this could also cause a war.)

# data[].attributes.body
Many societies wanted new land in places that fascinated/stood out to them. During this time, they introduced new forms of technology and ideas where they could self-rule (being independent.) Another reason was for better and more controlled trade routes that benefited the Europeans and Natives. They also wanted nationalism, in order for some nations to prove this they started colonizing territories.

Why is the name "The Scramble for Africa" fitting?

I think this is because Africa was beneficial for many other nations but were considered like a weaker nation because as said before they were unable to defend their selves and couldnt fight back. So others could use them to profit their nations.

1. But if political power becomes the primal goal of a nation, it will lead to harshness, even to barbarism. This supports the claim by showing that colonies will produce good effects and be very beneficial to Germany. 2. In this new Reich of ours there is so much bitterness, so much unfruitful, sour, and poisoned political wrangling, that the opening of a new, promising road of national effort will act as a kind of liberating influence. 3. A people that has been led to a high level of power can maintain its historical position only as long as it understands and proves itself to be the bearer of the culture-mission. At the same time, this is the only way to stability and to the growth of national welfare, the necessary foundation for a lasting expansion of power.

Europeans needed natural resources in order to keep their factories and industries alive. Africa and Asia could help do this. They had oil, gas, iron ore, and gold. These new lands opened up new markets for the Europeans. Countries were investing in Africa and Asia because of how they could help benefit by expanding businesses and even make big profits while doing so.

They benefited in ways like: providing raw materials that could help market economies, new markets, trade, natural resources such as iron, gas, gold, and oil. Not being able to defend them selves was also beneficial because africans wouldnt be taken seriously, instead they would be used for their values and because they may have been identified as being a weaker nation, people thought of them as actually being weak and having no other value besides what they could do to help other nations.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this cartoon promotes social goals because they are all gathered as though they want to actually discuss the influence the sphere has in china and the purposes for it. Their discussion could be based on foreign power, exclusive rights, trading routes, or even what happened during the Boxer Rebellion. During this time different European nations had control over expanding Chinese ports and had control over trade in that region disregarding the rights of the Chinese people.

Yes, I believe nationalism can be dangerous. Nationalism can lead to violence because it acknowledges self-praise. It also encourages the attitude that can drive people against one another meaning they are committed to doing whatever is beneficial to them (seeking power and authority.) This could also hurt the people of other countries.

They wanted to spread European civilization and ides to new territories. Another main reason was because they considered African and Asians to be brutes and uncivilized, so they wanted to convert many to Christianity.

Imperialism is the idea that helps the interests of a certain group of people wanting to gain the nation's self-governance over it's native land or the interest in other nations.

# data[].attributes.body
Nationalism is the belief that your country is higher rank/more important than other. As said in the article, "a belief that your country is superior to all others."

Social Darwinism was a belief that is was only natural for stronger nations to control weaker ones. To me this means those powerful and independent nations should rule/have control over the ones that do depend on other nations for survival or need other wealthier nations for their countries benefits(or stronger nation and weaker ones can benefit off each other and this might also make society much more better.) As said in the article, "the strongest will make society better."

No they were not justified.The Boxers burned cities, killed christian and european missionaries with any chinese people that supports them. They were captured and dealt with harsh executions(this could mean to put to death.)

White Man's Burden is the idea that it was Europe’s duty to educate and Christianize the savages of Africa and Asia. The largest religion in Europe is Christianity. Many christians like spreading the word to bring people closer to christ. So Europeans may feel as though it is not only their duty but they are doing Africans and Asians a favor. They believed god wanted them to covert other people.

Supporting Question: Are European goals harmless?

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion yes, their goals were harmless. They simply wanted what was best for their nation and good benefits. Although they may have had negative influences on the world itself, they observed positive impacts in the areas of trade, economy and politics. They even opened up new ways to trade to Asia as well as India.
