This supports the concept of Imperialism and its benefit of political prosperity for European powers. Belgium however, was not the only country politically motivated in increasing their country's competence. According to a speech to the House of Commons regarding the Suez Canal, Benjamin Disraeli, the British Prime Minister advocates imperialization of African territory in order to reinforce the British empire. speech to the House of Commons

Prince Leopold is talking about the significance of Belgium becoming an Imperial power. Leopold stated that since everyone thinks that colonies are helpful in showing off a countries prestige; Belgium should have a colony of their own. (Doc.1) Therefore, Belgium was politically motivated because they wanted to show off their prestige to other great Imperial powers. In addition, a speech given by Benjamin Disraeli, the British Prime Minister. Disraeli argues that Britain should colonize for political and strategic reasons rather than economic(Doc.2). Hence, Britain should be more politically and strategically motivated to control more land.]]> 2018-02-20 19:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tprocopio/hbonnh33abnv/wish/233490827 https://padlet.com/tprocopio/hbonnh33abnv/wish/233490873 Belgian Prince Leopold, announced in his conversation as future king, that the  expanding of his small nation and its power can only be progressed  by acquiring African territory to join in the race of imperial rewards; such as power. This exemplifies Leopold’s motive to using imperialism to gain political power over other European countries. A similar motive would include Benjamin Disraeli, a British prime minister,  that advocates towards political over economic investments for nations such as Great Britain.

This proves that taking over other lands and having political prosperity can help with European power. According to Benjamin Disraeli, British prime minister, he had stated that deals made within the government with other countries would lead to strengthening their empire (Doc 2). ]]> 2018-02-20 19:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tprocopio/hbonnh33abnv/wish/233491032 https://padlet.com/tprocopio/hbonnh33abnv/wish/233491034
According to Prince Leopold, who is the heir to the throne of Belgium and future king, in 1861, asserts that Belgium wants to show that just because they can never expand in Europe, doesn't mean they can't help enlightened the uncivilized people. They wanted to lead the progress of the land and people (Doc 1).  The motivation was that they wanted to dominate to own the lands. Prince Leopard is a conservative and he still wants more power and that is one reason he wants to help out the uncivilized people in the lands. Another similar topic of taking control over territories of these backward peoples who are unable to develop the wealth of their land is explained in a speech that was given by Martial Henri. According to Martial Henri Merlin, governor general of French, in Equatorial Africa, gave a speech about how they went to territories to take control over them and gain more power (Doc 6).

 Their motives were to expand their land by colonization because they wanted more power. He wanted to civilize other lands because he wants to gain more money from civilizing colonies .

(Doc1) This proves that one of the main motives for colonizing in Africa was political. Corresponding to prince Leopold's Motives, minister Benjamin Disracli also states the important of colonize for political transactions.
