The Driving Force Behind European Imperialism In Africa
Life in Africa isn’t what it seems, they have this driving force behind European imperialism. All in all European nations competed with one another for control within the nations. The driving force behind European imperialism in Africa was imports, exports, technology, and malaria. This document helps you find out the millions of British pounds that have been imported and exported. (document E) Great Britain made 3.5 million and 2.1 million on imports and exports. (doc E) Imports and exports are a daily thing that happens in the countries. This happens because of all the items that are coming in and out of Africa to the people living there. Things that may be imported or exported are food items, things they could use for living, clothes,
furniture, etc. Technology is an everyday life tool that we used back then that we carried with us until today. The technology that was used back then helped them get around places, fight, making clothing and much more. (doc C) Some examples of technology that was used during this time was the Steam Engine, Maxim gun, Electric telegraph, and more. Technology isn’t always a bad thing. Back then technology was a major part in their lives and was used in their daily life skills. There are a bunch of different illnesses in countries like Africa for example one major illness is malaria. “Europeans were so vulnerable to these diseases that the west coast of Africa, from the Senegal River to Angola, became known as “the white man’s grave.”” (background essay).
