1. In defending England's right to colonize Africa, Lord Frederick Lugard proposed, "I hold that our right is the necessity that is upon us to provide for our ever-growing population." Is there an economic justification for imperialism? Be sure to consider the question from the position of both the colonizing nation and the colony.
2. When Rudyard Kipling suggested that Americans "Take up the White Man's Burden" what did he mean? How does this phrase express the goals of imperialism? Did the Americans have to be encouraged to become imperialistic?
3. Examine the racist beliefs that played such a central role in European imperialism. How did racism justify imperialism and also inspire it?

• Became a protectorate of Great Britain from 1883 until 1956
• British domination of Egypt became the model for the "new imperialism“
• Turkish general Muhammad Ali had established Egypt into a strong and virtually independent state by 1849
• Egypt's inability to satisfy foreign investors led to control of its finances by France & Britain (GB bought Egypt's debt in 1875)
• Safeguarding the Suez Canal (completed in 1869) played a key role in the British occupation of Egypt and its bloody conquest of the Sudan.
• (Battle of Omdurman 1898: 11,000 Sudanese dead, 368 British dead)

“The baskets of severed hands, set down at the feet of the European post commanders, became the symbol of the Congo Free State. ... The collection of hands became an end in itself. Force Publique soldiers brought them to the stations in place of rubber; they even went out to harvest them instead of rubber... They became a sort of currency.
They came to be used to make up for shortfalls in rubber quotas, to replace... the people who were demanded for the forced labor gangs; and the Force Publique soldiers were paid their bonuses on the basis of how many hands they collected.” - Belgian Commissioner
(Death toll estimates 3-15 million Africans)
African men were murdered, women were raped and murdered, if they did not fill their
quota of rubber and ivory

The Berlin Conference 1884-1885• Coordinated by German (von Bismarck), called for by Portugal• 14 European nations and the United States were involved: no
Africans were invited• Generally agreed to represent the formalization of the Scramble for
Africa• Organized in response to Stanley’s mapping of the Congo Basin and to
King Leopold’s assertion that the Congo region would be a trade free zone.
• The General Act of the Berlin Conference proclaimed:
1. The Free State of Congo was confirmed as private property of the Congo Society and
essentially the private property of King Leopold.(because of the terror regime established, it would eventually become a Belgian
colony 1908).
2. The 14 signatory powers would have free trade throughout the Congo Basin and the Niger and
Congo Rivers were made free for ship traffic.
3. An international prohibition of the slave trade was signed.
4. Any European country could establish colonies as long as they told everyone, and
occupied previously unoccupied territories.

As late as 1925 one British official commentedon the process as it operated in central Nigeria:
“I shall of course go on walloping them until they surrender. It’s a rather piteous sightwatching a village being knocked to pieces andI wish there was some other way, but unfortunatelythere isn’t.”
