Under Spanish control

Originally controlled by Spanish government, but due to the exploitation of the system they put down (abusive treatment of tribute payers, neglect of local religious instruction, frequent withholding of revenues from the crown) caused them to abandon the system.

The governor general, initially appointed by the king, began to become similar to a medieval monarch in the Philippines

Area itself was chosen because of strategic military location, as well as natural resources

Products in high demand from the Philippines included sugar and hemp, which grew in trade after the completion of the Suez Canal

No public education in the Philippines until 1863

Education was controlled by the church

grew in size rapidly from 1878 to 1913

Africas power grew and grew the more people moved.

the economic structure of the African society was changed by the Europeans.

Cash crops were introduced to meet the industrial needs of European countries. (Cocoa, coffee and cotton).

The European colonial powers industrialized and modernized Africa. The Africans were used to solely produce raw materials, export them to Europe, and then re-export them to Africa.

Racism was high in Europe causing them to think highly of themselves when it came to Africa.

The Europeans stole multiple ideas and called it their own to make money off their ideas.

Once the European nations began creating farms and mining companies in Africa, they needed people to work on them so they started using Africans as cheap labor.

Africans who lived in certain areas the Europeans moved into, did not have their home anymore.

The Africans were payed in low wages and corporal punishment. They were payed in cash along with food nations.

During imperialism, Africa lost themselves due to the Europeans taking their ideas and culture away from them

African men were separated from their families into slave trade and labor. making families have harder troubles with money and health care without the father.

The U.S seized the Philippines and many other places like Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Guam in 1889 as a result of victory in the war with Spain.

At the time close to 16 million people were living in the Philippines and the U.S denied the people who at the time lived in the Philippines the rights to full citizenship.

During this time they waged wars, conducted dangerous medical experiments on the population, and imposed economic, social and political to benefit their economic interests.

During 1898 the U.S occupied the Philippines mainly because the Filipinos controlled most of the archipelago and refused to have a new colonial ruler.

The U.S refused to recognize Philippines independence and sent 2/3 of their army (125,000 troops) to impose their authority.

After 3 years when the war was finally over it was said that no less than 50,000 Filipino soldiers died.

Nigeria is a country in West Africa and was colonized by the British for the aim of acquiring Nigeria’s resources like palm oil, palm kernel, tin, cotton, cocoa, groundnut and so on.

Colonial Nigeria was ruled by the British Empire from the mid 19th century until October 1st, 1960 when Nigeria achieved independence.

Similar to most other British colonies, Nigeria was administered through indirect rule which involved ruling the African inhabitants through their native rulers.

The colonial period in Nigeria first began with the slave trade in the 15th century.

The Portuguese paved the way for the slave trade in Nigeria making them the first European country to trade with Nigeria, albeit, they didn’t colonize it. Contrary to popular belief, the Nigerians themselves started the slave trade by selling prisoners of war to the Portuguese as slaves.

In the 18th century, around the time that the British replaced the Portuguese as the leaders of the slave trade, British traders settled in the Niger River known as Lagos. They placed their focus on obtaining goods to increase their ability to trade.

The British began colonizing the area by defeating different power heads and gaining control over the Royal Niger Company’s territories.

The Royal Niger Company sold its holdings to the British government for £865,000 (1.1 million dollars). That was the amount Britain paid to basically acquire the area that would later be known as Nigeria.

British first annexed Lagos in 1861 and then established the Oil River Protectorate in 1884 but didn’t effectively occupy the area until 1885 when they established dominance over the area in the Berlin Conference.

Nigeria was initially three colonies, the southern and northern Nigeria protectorate and the colony of Lagos, but was amalgamated as the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria at the urging of Governor Frederick Lugard.

After being colonized, the slave trade system in Nigeria was abolished by the British. The British also controlled Nigeria religiously by establishing Christianity.

Through indirect rule, the British could profit from the economy of Nigeria that, because of their intervention, was primarily based on the export of different crops including palm oil, cacao, cocoa and peanuts.

The British soon later created a “divide and rule policy “ in order to deal with the diversity of groups of the area they had essentially created and defined as a colony. This could keep different Nigerian groups as far away from one another as possible.

Further divisions within the country came about when “traditional authorities “ led the north and subsequently Islam resisted the spread of Christianity. However, the south was home of a “political hierarchy” in which the British ruled through “those who were most malleable”. Here, Christianity spread quickly adding further tensions to the area.

The British added their part of the former German colony, Cameroon, to Nigeria which expanded the diversities within the borders of Nigeria.

The British did have trouble controlling Nigeria, partly due to Pan-Africanism which is a term for movements in Africa with the goal of uniting Africa and eliminating colonialism and white supremacy. The movement inspired the first political party of Nigeria which fought against the British rule via the youth, media, educated and the farmers.

The British responded by slowly changing the governing system within Nigeria to allow the people to have more of a voice. This, however, resulted in further divisions and disagreements among Nigeria.

The British recognized that the independence drive had started to gain traction after World War Two and the steered the country then colony and the protectorate towards a self-governance model.

On the 1st of October in 1960, the federation of Nigeria was formally independent from Britain and joined the commonwealth of nations (CON). The Union Jack flag was lowered for the Nigerian green-white-green national flag. Unlike countries like America, Algeria and Haiti, Nigeria secured her independence through nonviolent means.
