Joseph Chamberlain knew that the British Isles could not survive without the African colonies because of how it supplied many with jobs. Martial Henri Merlin believed that the "duty" of the Europeans was to modernize these African nations because they were viewed as inferior. The European acquisition of the African colonies happened because of a desire to gain more economically, the need for more jobs, and the entitlement Europeans felt over "inferior" African colonies. It is understandable to say that the African acquisition was a horrible event in which many nations were uprooted from their natural way of life. However, the colonization of these territories helped the middle and lower classes of Europe, and also brought about the modernization of Africa. It is reasonable to say that while African colonization had its pros and cons, ultimately, it had beneficial long-term effects on both sides.]]> 2020-03-04 04:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115011 rh0271 https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115012 Europeans believed that they were the superior race.]]> 2020-03-04 04:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115012 rh0271 https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115013 Calling Africans "backward peoples", those like Merlin believed that the Africans were an inferior race because of their inability to develop the wealth of their land.]]> 2020-03-04 04:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115013 rh0271 https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115014 He believes his duty, and the duty of the French people, is to correct these territories, by means of modernizing these nations with industrialization, global markets, and an income of wealth.]]> 2020-03-04 04:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115014 rh0271 https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115016 A belief in "survival of the fittest" when it comes to civilizations and economies, colonists believed that it was by "natural selection" that the Europeans were superior, especially in how Europe was more modernized.]]> 2020-03-04 04:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115016 rh0271 https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115017 Although by the second half of the 19th century Europe had already industrialized and had experienced economic growth, ultimately, at the turn of the century, European countries had begun colonizing African territory due to a desire to keep strengthening the economy, keeping its citizens employed and fed, and because of a widely held belief that the Europeans were the superior race.]]> 2020-03-04 04:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115017 rh0271 https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115018 By the mid-nineteenth century, industrialization had successfully boosted the economies of many European nations. The rise in nationalism also contributed to the successes of many nations in the end of internal divisions within countries. However, in an attempt to gain more economically, countries would begin to colonize countries in Africa to gain more resource, capital, and employment among its citizens.]]> 2020-03-04 04:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115018 rh0271 https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115020 Countries in Europe needed a way to keep its citizens employed.]]> 2020-03-04 04:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115020 rh0271 https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115021 Chamberlain states that half of the population would be starved, as many of their citizens were already unemployed.

Because of the Industrial Revolution, jobs were becoming limited and social classes were becoming more and more distinguishable from each other. The opening of new markets abroad allowed for new jobs to be created. ]]> 2020-03-04 04:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115023 rh0271 https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115024 Countries in Europe wanted to keep strengthening the economy.]]> 2020-03-04 04:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115024 rh0271 https://padlet.com/rh0271/nj9h4uxeeeei/wish/454115025 Belgium wanted establish their position in Europe as a strong, unified nation, capable of imperialism.
