Jo's thing:
how: the French, Italian, and Spanish colonies started conquering in north Africa, and the British were in South Africa, they had already taken over the Dutch territories. Then the Brits went to Egypt. Leopold || of Belgium also befriended a journalist, who was able to make peace treaties with Central African tribes. French immediately rushed in and established a treaty with a tribe on the North bank of the Congo river. then everyone started rushing in. Germany started making loads of protectorates and cooperated with the french against the quickly growing British colonies. later, the Brits fought and easily won against the Muslim tribes. Then France tried to butt in, but quickly backed down. In the end, it was mostly British who controlled the land.
oh, and Asia, The dutch sided with Britain and Germany, and the French took Indochina. Russia and the US also took some of Asia.

why: Africa had a lot of resources, and was unpopulated by  very advanced or threatening 
civilization.  Asia, on the other hand, was very advanced and therefore, valuable.
Did I do this right? I feel like I did this wrong

Ty: They rushed to build political empires because of all of the land they could take in Africa and all of the resources were there.

Reagan: 
After 1875, European nations, mainly through strong military force,  scrambled to get a piece of the highly sought after lands of Africa & Asia. They wanted these lands because, as new surges for Imperialism showed, power was shown through territory. I also agree with you guys, the countries they were taking did have a lot of resources that could help their economy. 

Andy---
 So basically the European nation wanted to get resources and money from Africa and Asia and by doing that they had strong brutal forces basically cornering 
them into doing what they want which was horribly cruel.


Madison-- 
They rushed to conquer Africa and Asia in attempts to gain more power, control, resources, money etc.]]> 2017-11-29 16:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211498470 How did NONE Westerners respond to Western expansion? How did India, Japan, and China meet the Imperialist challenge? beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211499161 click here and begin writing...

Jo's other thing:
how NON westerners responded to western expansion:
African and Asian rulers were initially hostile towards the westerners, however some accepted them, and their superior technology. Eventually, more and more people went with Westernizing their old ways.

how India, Japan and China met the imperialist challenge: 
India had already been ruled by Britain for a while, but eventually educated Indians called for total independence.
Japan struggled against, and then successfully copied imperialism of Western society. Then they went on a blood rush for other Asian countries.
China was split between modernizing to meet the challenge or not, and eventually just lost the war. then those who wanted to modernize overthrew the dynasty and made a parliament. 
DONE....that was a lot.

Reagan: 
Non-western countries responded to western expansion by using traditional war strategies and in some cases, accepting the new way of doing things. India, Japan, & China responded to the imperialist challenge by adopting new technologies and establishing strong leadership within their governments. 

Madison--
Some non-western countries attempted to drive them away with violence, but the westerners always seemed to prevail. Others reformed to their ways and sort of copied them. ]]> 2017-11-29 16:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211499161 beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211681931 2017-11-30 01:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211681931 beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211683409 2017-11-30 01:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211683409 beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211683979 2017-11-30 01:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211683979 Political & Military Interests beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211685682 2017-11-30 01:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211685682 Mark Twain beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211686365 2017-11-30 01:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211686365 beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211850839 2017-11-30 14:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211850839 beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211934374 2017-11-30 16:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/211934374 Motives of ImperialismRather than having one motive for their imperialistic aspirations, most nations have several motives that tend to intersect and overlap, which can make it difficult to identify or understand the true objective. Broadly speaking, however, there are five motives for imperialism. beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212295171 2017-12-01 15:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212295171 Political/ Military Interests beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212297038 After studying the map above(or the handout in your notebook) consider the following 2 questions and add your thoughts: 
1. Imperial powers most often had expansive navies. These ships needed bases around the world to take on supplies and fuel. What locations would serve well for this purpose? Does one particular nation seem to have the most advantageous port territories?
click here and begin writing... 
Reagan: 
Any coast locations close to other countries would make ideal ports; specifically, India's south coast. 
 Ty:
I agree with Reagan because if you had ports close to different countries on the coast it would be easier to trade.
Jo: I also agree with Reagan because the closer to the other countries, the less distance the ships have to travel.  India's south coast would be good as it has a lot of options, but Libya (the part of Africa controlled by Italy in the 1914s) is closer to multiple places.]]> 2017-12-01 15:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212297038 2. Nationalism also played an important role in obtaining territories. Nations were always in competition with one another seeing who could acquire the most land and attempting to block the expansion of other nations. Is there one continent that is entirely dominated by one Imperial power? Is it common for imperial territories of varying countries to be in close proximity to one another? Why or why not? beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212298853  click here and begin writing...

Reagan: 
Australia was completely dominated by Great Britain. It is uncommon for imperial territories of various countries to be close together because most countries start expanding by going to different countries with different goods, ports, and advantages. 
Ty:
Australia was controlled by Great Britain and many other countries. I agree with Reagan how it was uncommon for imperial territories of different countries to be close together because by controlling different parts of the world you can get different resources and goods.
Jo: as Reagan and Ty said, Australia was solely controlled by Great Britain. And although I agree that it was fairly uncommon for imperial territories of various countries to be close together, I would not say it was rare. ]]> 2017-12-01 15:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212298853 Humanitarian Goals beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212400685 2017-12-01 18:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212400685 Letters to YOU Mr. Darwin beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212401012 2017-12-01 18:51:06 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212401012 beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212402034 2017-12-01 18:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212402034 1. When Kipling says “send forth the best ye breed,” who is he addressing? (Hint:Remember that Kipling is British) Why does he want them to send out their “best breed”? beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212402236 What were your thoughts about these questions(refer to the answers on your handout if needed and what can you add to the conversation?
Ty:
I think he is addressing the British army. He also wants them to send out their best to show them how strong they are.

Reagan: 
I was thinking that he was addressing the  "socially elite" or the mentally and physically stronger population, but that is a good point Ty----to Kipling, Great Britain would have been elite and stronger than other nations. 

Jo: Ty and Reagan stoles the words right from my mouth. I was mostly thinking along the lines of Reagan's answer though. The best - wellbred, or so to speak - of the population, the parts that the country is proud of...]]> 2017-12-01 18:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212402236 2. Kipling describes the native people as “half devil and half child.” What do you think he means by this? beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212402533 What were your thoughts about these questions(refer to the answers on your handout if needed) and what can you add to the conversation?
Ty:
I think he means that the natives are not very smart or advanced people.

Reagan: 
I agree--- he thinks that they are uneducated and not fit to self-govern

Jo: Yes, I agree as well--he thinks they are violent, unrefined, and wild.]]> 2017-12-01 18:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212402533 3. When Kipling says that the reward for Imperialism is “the blame of those ye better/ andthe hate of those ye guard” to what is he referring to? What would those natives whoImperialist powers “bettered” blame Imperial powers for? beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212403345 What were your thoughts about these questions(refer to the answers on your handout if needed) and what can you add to the conversation?
Ty:
He is referring to the natives. They would be blamed for coming into their country and taking control.

Reagan: 
I believe that he is referring to the fact that the imperialistic countries will take over and they will blame them and the people that they are inflicting onto their views and they will cause a problem. They would blame them for inflicting on their rights & territory. 

Jo: I agree with Reagan. she paraphrased the original and it's great *cheers*]]> 2017-12-01 18:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212403345 4. How would you describe “The White Man’s Burden” according to Rudyard Kipling? beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212403519 What were your thoughts about these questions(refer to the answers on your handout if needed) and what can you add to the conversation?
Ty:
I think it is about being in control and having power but get blamed for protecting certain countries.

Reagan: 
I would describe "The White Man's Burden" as the "elite" population having to deal with people who are not fit to self-govern. 

Jo: 
I'd say it's about a guy complaining about how hard it is to be white and "superior" and spread imperialism.]]> 2017-12-01 18:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212403519 Would You Support Imperialism? beckyvanrees1 https://padlet.com/beckyvanrees1/Imperialism/wish/212413953 I would only support Imperialism if it was for the better of society as a whole-----not for one group of people.--------Mrs. VR

No but I don't think we should be their protector either. I think we should just stay to ourselves and not get involved in wars or anything unless if they were our ally. --Ty

At the time, I would support imperialism, if the drive wasn’t conquesting resources and territories, but more, liberating societies and helping them get democracy. (resources are a good bonus though after the democracy stuff :D)-Reagan

I wouldn't support Imperialism, because you can start helping the country out a bit, but later on you can start taking advantage of the country and take everything from them and take control of the country.-Andy

I would not support imperialism, because I agree with Mark Twain in the sense that I believe it is not necessary to be involved with any country other than our own. -Madison

No, I would not support imperialism, because the westerners got where they were without imperialism, so other tribes and stuff will come along later.-
