,geographers at the royal palace in Brussels (1876). Several years later he hired Henry Morton Stanley to be his right-hand man in Africa. For half a decade, Stanley traveled the Congo setting up posts, building roads, and persuading chiefs─practically all being illiterate─to sign treaties with Leopold. The treaties, some of which doctored to Leopold’s benefit, were then put to use by the Belgian monarch (Britannica). Rubber was booming during that time, and the Congo free estate had one lucrative source of wild rubber, and it was the Landolphia vines in the Central African rainforest.…

First of all, there was a greater impact socially than economically after the colonization of the New World because of the slave trade. Many slaves were horribly mistreated before they even came to America. Proof of this is (Doc. H) where the slaves are shown being brought onto the Middle Passage. These slaves, including young children, are shown with shackles around their necks. Once on the Middle Passage, slaves were kept in the hull of the ship. There was just enough food and water to keep them alive, they had no fresh air, and they had no bathrooms. They were kept on this ship for 45 days. Many slaves tried to commit suicide by throwing themselves off the ship or starving themselves. This all happened before they even reached the Americas, where they would be treated less than human. Another piece of evidence is (Doc J.) where Barbot…
A controversial aspect of imperialism is the imperial power’s justification of such actions. Those seeking to justify imperialism pointed out that technological and economic efficiency were often improved in territories subjected to imperialism, through the building of roads and other infrastructure and the introduction of many innovations.

The makers of cotton and iron goods have been very much interested in imperialism. Their business interests demand that colonial markets should be opened and developed and that foreign competitors should be shut out. Such aims require political control and imperialism. Finally, the most powerful of all business groups are the bankers. Banks make loans to colonies and backward countries for building railways and steamship lines.
