Settlement, exploitation,
and spheres of influence.
Review:As you saw in the DBQ, there
are 3 main motives for imperialism:
1)Economic Resources, labor, new markets
2)Social Religious, ideological, to
expand your culture
3)Political Military expansion, exploration,
idea of ‘glory and power’
Imperialism in Action:Whatever the reason empires came to
conquer, those 3 reasons led to 3 general types of colonies/influence.1. Settlement2. Exploitation3. Spheres of Influence
Settlement ColoniesThe empire tries to make the colony another
version of itself. Men, women and children all emigrate to the
new colony.Often in search of land and new
opportunities.Examples:
CanadaSouth Africa
Exploitation ColoniesUsually in places that would be inhospitable
to move in settlersFocused on obtaining raw or human
resourcesOften involved using native populations as
slave workers.Example:
Belgian Congo“Rhodesia”Nigeria
Spheres of InfluenceUnofficially, but effectively, controlled from
the outside (Not technically colonies)Desire to keep trade and interaction open
without removing local infrastructure.“Mafia” analogyExample:
China
Different Levels of Control:Direct
Officials/soldiers from home countryFrench
IndirectLocal rulers, but “Westernized”British
ProtectorateLike indirect- local rulersExpected to do what European
advisers wanted.
How could they get away with this?

“The White Man’s Burden”by Rudyard Kipling, 1899
Take up the White Man's burden--Send forth the best ye breed--Go bind your sons to exileTo serve your captives' need;To wait in heavy harness,On fluttered folk and wild--Your new-caught, sullen peoples,Half-devil and half-child.
“Martyr”by David Diop, one of West Africa’s best known poetsThe 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 bloodThe White Man turned to me:And in the Conqueror’s voice said,“Boy! A chair, a napkin, a drink.”
