Document 2: Imperialism brought European explorers into contact with new lands full of exotic plants and animals they had never before seen, many of which served medicinal or scientific purposes. The British explorer David Livingstone was the first European to travel through Africa. Below is an image of the map he created during his travels, as well as his account of the uses of native plant life dating from 1857.       

missionaries pushed for imperialism to convert people through religion. they wanted to convert Asia, Africa, and the pacific islands. they believed it would end all evil.
 

Document 3: The push for expansion also came from missionaries who worked to convert the peoples of Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands. Missionaries believed Christianity would end the “evil practices” of the natives, including slavery. One of the first missionaries that left Europe to promote Christianity was the explorer David Livingstone. Below, Livingstone describes his experience trying to convert a tribe of Africans to Christianity in 1857. 

“I was especially surprised that the chief was all too happy to embrace Christianity at my suggestion. During the space of two and a half years he continued to preach to his people his full conviction (belief) in the truth of Christianity, acting at the same time in an honest and moral manner in all relations of life. He felt the difficulties of his situation (converting the natives) long before I did, and often said, ‘Oh, I wish you had come to this country before we became entangled (stuck) in the meshes (traps) of our customs!’ One reason why we had no volunteer converts was the hunger from drought, which was associated in the natives’ minds with the presence of Christian instruction; and someone is not likely to convert to a creed (new set of believes), which seems to result in an empty stomach.”—David Livingstone

Europeans believed in racist ideology. in their eyes they were better than everyone else. their reason for imperialism was because it was their duty to bring "progress" and "civilization".
  

 

Document 5:  Many Europeans held the racist ideology, or belief, that they were better than other peoples. They believed it was their right and duty to bring “progress” and “civilization” to “primitive” countries. Below is a political cartoon titled “the White Man’s Burden” published in Judge Magazine in 1899. It shows personifications of Great Britain and the United States carrying baskets of Chinese, Africans, Arabs, Filipinos, and other native peoples up a mountain towards “civilization.”                                           

 

    

 

The White Man killed my father,
My father was proud. 
The White Man seduced my mother, 
My mother was beautiful. 
The White Man burnt my brother beneath the noonday sun, 
My brother was strong. 
His hands red with black blood 
The White Man turned to me;
 And in the Conqueror’s voice said, 
"Boy! a chair, a napkin, a drink." 

Summary_ this boys became a servant after his family died. NOT a a slave but a servant for the man that killed his family.

Here Nkwabali took up the tale from Moyo [Bangongo chief]: “We said to the white men, ‘We are not enough people now to do what you want us. Our country has not many people in it and we are dying fast. We are killed by the work you make us do, but the stoppage of our plantations, and the breaking up of our homes…”

Summary_

Document 18: Nnamdi Azikiwe, speech on British colonialism in Africa, 1947.

. . . Socially, the ogre [monster] of racial segregation and discrimination makes it extremely difficult for the colonial to develop his personality to the full. Education is obtainable but limited to the privileged. Hospitals are not available to the great number of the people but only to a negligible [small] minority. Public services are lacking in many respects; there are not sufficient water supplies, surfaced roads, postal services and communications systems in most communities of Nigeria. The prisons are medieval, the penal [criminal] code is oppressive, and religious freedom is a pearl of great price. . . . 

Summary_Education is obtainable but limited to the privileged

 

natives worked and the whites owned resources.The whites make the natives live under their expense so, they could get rich off it. 

Document 8: This excerpt is adapted from Imperialism by J.A. Hobson, a British scholar.

The period of imperialism has witnessed many wars. Most of these wars have been caused by attacks of white races upon so-called “lower races.” They have resulted in the taking of territory by force. . . . The white rulers of the colonies live at the expense of the natives. Their chief work is to organize labor for their support. In the typical colony, the most fertile lands and the mineral resources are owned by white foreigners. These holdings are worked by natives under their  take wealth out of the country. All the hard work is done by natives.
