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

# data[].attributes.body
It if fitting because they European country's go there and just take hat they want, they are scrambling for resources without thinking about the people who live there. they are making a mess of something that they think they have a right to. the name is fitting because they are in a rush for money and resources. they think the Africans are heathens and uncivilized, s the only solution is to use force to complete their goals. the feel as if they have a right to do this.

The man carrying the black man to the school house, almost as if he doesn't want to go or is unable to get there himself. Its as if the white man had the burden of educating everyone else. the natives are depicted as  very stereotypical black people , the very dark skin and big lips.in the picture they almost don't look human, they have spiky hair that stands straight up and they are wearing a grass skirt. in contrast the white man appears almost proud, like this is his duty, compared to the other person he looks very put together, he has nice clothes and a hat and looks like a person you would just see everyday.

They wanted to say that anyone who opposes us will pay the price, we are in charge here because we are better than you. The boxers were all killed, decapitated when they got caught. After the boxers got killed sometimes their heads would be put on spikes for everyone to see to send the message, we are stronger than you, we will defeat you. The Europeans wanted to strike fear into the boxers.

“Should not the German nation, so seaworthy, so industrially and commercially minded, more than other peoples geared to agricultural colonization ,should not this nation successfully pave a new path on the road of imperialism? "
"The fact is that England tenaciously holds on to its worldwide possessions with scarcely one fourth the manpower of our continental military state."
By getting colonies they will make money.

places like Africa and Asia were rich in natural resources, they had oil, gas, iron and gold. they also were able to open up new markets so they could sell more stuff as well.

it was exploited in the way that the Europeans came and took their resources, they would mine the iron and gold and collected the natural gases, they didn't care if it wasn't theirs they thought they had a right to it.they also went and took some of the resources they stole and sold them back to the people. they also wanted to educate an forcefully convert all the people to Christianity, they thought they were uncivilized heathens and therefore the Europeans had a right to the land.

Does this cartoon promote social, political, or economic goals and how do you know?

# data[].attributes.body
This cartoon promotes social goals such as educating and civilizing the natives along with making the white people seem normal and human compared to the natives, they are trying to put themselves in a better light.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, they think they are better than everyone else and that they can do whatever they want. when people think they are better than others they wont care about them, only their selves. When you have a strong sense of nationalism it can easily lead to imperialism, which in turn helps strip people of their culture and freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
the main social reason for imperialism is spreading religion. the Europeans thought that the people of Africa and Asia were uncivilized brutes and they needed Christianity. they church attempted to convert hundreds of thousands of people. they would also try to educate them as they saw them as uncivilized.

Yes, the Europeans came to their country, took over their ports, taxed them, and stole their land and resources. what the boxers did want necessarily good but it was necessary to help the country. the boxers went and killed all the Europeans they could find, mainly christian missionary's. the missionary's were probably trying to forcefully convert all the people. even after the boxers were defeated the Europeans continued to hurt the country of china, forcing them to pay $300 million for damages. the boxers did do lots of harm, burning and looting cities to find the foreigners, they would even attack any Chinese people who supported them.

Supporting Question: Are European goals harmless?

# data[].attributes.body
no, not at all. they would go to these places and conquer them, forcing their culture and religion onto them despite the fact that they already had their own cultures and religions. they would send christian missionary's to convert them. they would also come and take their natural resources before selling it back to them. they would mine gold, make it into jewelry, then sell it back to them. overall they would steal resources then sell it back to them. they tried to make it seem like everything they did was to help. they were seen as brutes only because they weren't Christian.

# data[].attributes.body
yes it does. Imperialism has never been a good thing, most of the times the goal of it are very selfish, they want power, military outposts, natural resources, to spread their religion.all of these things hurt the country's they are conquering or a least get rid of their free will.
Sometimes imperialism stems from nationalism, they want to conquer everyone to prove that they are the best, this is especially dangerous because they have no regard for the people the are taking over, after all they are the best so why should they care about country's that are below them.
When country's go to conquer other country's for economic reasons such as natural resources it hurt all the people that live there, you are stealing their resources along with the jobs of all the people who work with those natural resources, sometimes the conquerors very sell the resources back to the natives. this is what happened in the scramble for Africa, the Europeans were there for iron, gold and ivory and the saw Africa as their personal playground, they didn't care that people lived there, they wanted it so therefore it was theirs.
When Europeans decided to conquer china they defiantly upset the people there. they took over the ports so that they could make money from trade, they tried to convert the people to Christianity, and they also wanted to steal the natural resources. it wasn't just one nation that invaded china, it was many and they each had their own sphere of influence. some of the people just accepted the invasion however some were angry and retaliated, killing any European they could find, which in turn led to all of the people who rebelled being killed and having their heads put out o display.
when all this conquering and imperialism was going on the Europeans would make political cartoons, usually showing the people who were being conquered in a bad light, making them look crazy and uncivilized.
Nations would sometime justify their actions with social Darwinism, claiming that if they were strong enough to conquer another country then the other country is weak and that this is just the way of things.
there are just some examples of all the horrible things that have been done in the name of imperialism and it proves that it does deserve the bad reputation it has been given.
