Discussion Post: Compare Imperialism in Africa
Compare 2 maps related to Africa during the long 19th century. The first is a map of pre-colonial Africa in 1800.
Make sure you read the map titles and explanatory notations, then the position of borders, and the legend (or key).
Once you have examined the maps, write an essay (300-500 words) that answers the following:
Why was there such a scramble by Europeans for colonies in Africa? What had changed that made colonization more likely? Who colonized what regions and what did that mean for the people of those regions?
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
