*Be able to provide examples of each of these to support issue questions with evidence.*

4. Language
Imperial powers changed the culture of people in their colonies over time.
Forcing indigenous peoples to speak their languages has left a major legacy of globalization.
Examples: English spoken around the world, French spoken in Africa, Spanish spoken in Central and South America. Others?

5. Migration and Immigration

What legacies of historical globalization causes them to leave the country of their birth?
Search for a better life and opportunity.
Fleeing conflict, famine or natural disaster.
Religious persecution or freedom of practice.
Other…….?

6. Immigration
Origin of Immigrants to Canada 1913
Are there other countries or areas of the world that you would include today?
What reasons would you give to include them?

7. Displacement
European Imperialists forced people from their land; colonists needed land of their own.
They disregarded Indigenous peoples lifestyle, beliefs and traditions.
Europeans drew political borders that failed to take into account indigenous peoples ethnicity, culture, religions, etc.
This has led to wars, unrest and violence in many former colonies.

8. Depopulation
Slavery, before it was abolished, greatly depopulated Africa. Those taken were often strong young men which mad it difficult for families left behind to survive.
Indentured Labor:
-form of labor in which people worked without wages in exchange for passage to another country or location. Workers entered into indentures (contracts) to serve an employer for a certain number of years. In return, the workers received transportation and legal entry, as well as food, shelter, and other assistance. People who worked under indentures were sometimes called indentured servants.
Famine and Disease
Killed an estimated 30 million people in India in late 1800’s early 1900’s.
How might this affect the number of indentured laborers?

10. Legacy of British Imperialism in India
Britain had control of India from the 1700s up to 1947.
Originally, India was controlled by a British trading company called the East India Company. They were granted a trade monopoly in exchange for ruling India for Britain which they did with their own large, private army. (Often made up of British officers and Indian soldiers.)
Corruption and brutality was rampant during the East India Company’s reign in India, so the British govt. took control of the colony in This period was referred to as ‘The Raj’. (The rule).
India was called ‘The Jewel in the Crown’ of the British Empire. WHY?
Remember mercantilism? Britain was becoming extremely wealthy from India’s resources which were then sold back to the large population as finished goods.

12. Gandhi
Often referred to as one of the greatest men in history, Mohandas Gandhi successfully led India to independence in 1947.
There, he worked for the rights of Indians, many of whom were being exploited by the British and living in poverty.
Gandhi believed that every Indian should be self-sufficient — and he used the cotton industry as a powerful symbol of both British oppression and Indians’ desire for self- sufficiency and independence. He was ‘anti- industrialization.’ Why??
He was strongly opposed to violence and preached ‘non- cooperation’ as a means of getting the British to leave India….What did he mean by this? How would this achieve the desired goal?
