Look at all these colonies the British had! There's Canada, and India, South Africa, and Australia! They had so many colonies I couldn't even mention them all!

Those countries in Africa aren't going to mine themselves. If they don't go in there are take a hold of those resources then some other country is going to and we don't want that. We both know Britain is the best European country. They can get that iron, cotton, and oil and make some dough. What properly functioning government doesn't want some good ol silver?]]> 2018-02-27 02:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/235710678 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/235718972 They can also help these countries out of despair. I mean thinking about how good the Brits would look if they single handed delivered India out of the pre-industrial revolution state. They improve the standard of living, and stoppe a famine. Also this improves the rep of Britain and makes other primitive countries more likely to allow them to take control.]]> 2018-02-27 03:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/235718972 19patteben https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/235721738 I don't care]]> 2018-02-27 03:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/235721738 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/235722220

Wouldn't you say this image represents Britain's motivation for imperialism, because they wanted resources? It shows them taking all of Africa's natural resources.]]> 2018-02-27 03:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/235722220 19patteben https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/235722793 Why are you still texting me?]]> 2018-02-27 03:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/235722793 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/235724703 This picture shows the famine areas of India when the British came over. The point of view of this document is from the British. So I'm guessing it has some bias in favor of the Brits so others will support them more. It's purpose is to show how much the Brits improved and fixed India.

The Atlantic newspaper published an article in 1857 describing the Indians revolting against the Britains. It describes the frustration of the Indians over the British incursion and proceeds to list the events unfolding into an Indian rebellion www.theatlantic.com]]> 2018-02-27 17:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236038821 19patteben https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236039144 Leave me alone Ben]]> 2018-02-27 17:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236039144 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236054995

So this cool cartoon shows England taking all sorts of land from around the world. One symbol is that of England represented as an octopus because octopus, especially during that time, were thought of as ferocious creatures. Another symbolic element in this cartoon is that the octopus is taking land from every continent in the world emphasizing the phrase "the sun never sets on the British Empire" The Author was probably against the idea of imperialism. ]]> 2018-02-27 18:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236054995 19patteben https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236056497 I'm going to block you]]> 2018-02-27 18:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236056497 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236058860 I would say the British got a 4 for their size of impact economically in India because while the English were there they essentially turned India into a giant port and mine for resources]]> 2018-02-27 18:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236058860 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236059275 They get a 3 for conflict because while there were a few rebellions none were a major issue]]> 2018-02-27 18:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236059275 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060034 And they get a 3 for the colonized peoples because they did leave a few customs behind but you can see they still retain much of their original customs and beliefs]]> 2018-02-27 18:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060034 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060085 How was that]]> 2018-02-27 18:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060085 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060121 ???]]> 2018-02-27 18:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060121 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060154 Hello]]> 2018-02-27 18:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060154 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060256 Mr Schlabach?]]> 2018-02-27 18:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060256 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060311 You there?]]> 2018-02-27 18:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060311 BenPatterson https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060359 ???]]> 2018-02-27 18:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/BenPatterson/4lppf0094e89/wish/236060359
