Europeans Build New Empires

Objectives Analyze the causes of the “new imperialism.” Explain why Western imperialism spread so rapidly. Describe how imperial governments ruled their empires.

Terms and People imperialism – the domination by one country of the political, economic, or cultural life of another country or region protectorate – a region in which a local ruler was left in place but expected to follow the advice of European advisors on issues such as trade or missionary activity sphere of influence – an area in which an outside power claimed exclusive investment or trading privileges

How did Western nations come to dominate much of the world in the late 1800s? Great Britain and other Western countries built overseas empires in the late 1800s. Advances in science and technology, industry, transportation, and communication gave these industrialized nations many advantages. Armed with new economic and political power, Western nations set out to dominate the world.

In the late 1800s, Western imperialism expanded aggressively. Imperialism is the domination by one country of the political, economic, or cultural life of another country or region. Although Europeans had established colonies earlier, they had previously had little direct influence over people in China, India, or Africa.

The strong, centrally governed nation-states of Europe were greatly enriched by the Industrial Revolution. Encouraged by their new strength, these nations embarked on a path of expansion—the new imperialism.

Forces Behind the “New Imperialism” Political and military needs Economic needs New sources of raw materials New markets to sell goods New ventures and enterprises Political and military needs Naval refueling bases Stopping the expansion of rivals Promoting national security and prestige Aggressive national pride, known as jingoism, fueled competition for colonies.

Missionaries, doctors, and colonial officials saw it as their duty to spread the blessings of Western civilization. These benefits included medicine, law, and the Christian religion. Imperialism was also driven by genuine humanitarian and religious goals.

As a result, many non-Westerners lost their cultural heritage. Social Darwinists applied Darwin’s theory of natural selection to societies. They saw imperialism as nature’s way of improving the human race. Behind the West’s civilizing mission was also a sense of racial superiority. As a result, many non-Westerners lost their cultural heritage.

From 1870 to 1914, imperialist nations gained control over much of the world. Explorers, missionaries, soldiers, merchants, and settlers led the way. Imperialism found support among all classes of society, including bankers, manufacturers, and workers. French soldiers in Madagascar

Western expansion succeeded for a number of reasons. Disadvantages of the non-Western nations The Ottoman and Chinese civilizations were in decline. The slave trade had damaged African nations. Advantages of the Western nations They had strong economies and well-organized governments. They had superior technology in weapons, communication, medicine, and transportation.

Some tried to strengthen their societies by reforming their Hindu, Muslim, or Confucian traditions. Educated Africans and Asians tried to form nationalist movements to expel the imperialists. Asians and Africans resisted but were over- powered by weapons such as the Maxim machine gun.

Within Western nations, a small group of anti-imperialists opposed empire building. Some saw imperialism as a tool of the rich. Some felt it was immoral. Others saw it as undemocratic. Westerners were moving toward greater democracy at home, they argued, but were imposing undemocratic rule on others.

Imperialist nations developed several ways to rule their colonies. France generally ruled directly. French administrators were sent. The goal was to impose French culture. Britain generally ruled indirectly. Local rulers were left in charge. The children of the ruling class were educated in England. The goal was to groom or “Westernize” future leaders.

Two other forms of rule were through protectorates and spheres of influence. Local leaders were kept in office. Colonial advisors told them what to do. This method was less costly. Spheres of influence Colonial powers claimed exclusive right to trade or invest in a particular area. The goal was to prevent conflict with other colonial powers.
