Changes due to Industrialization

1. What

demographic shift

was inspired by

industrialization?

1. Many people migrated to cities seeking

work, thereby increasing urbanization.

1. Learning Objective 6.6.F

Most migrants both internal and external

moved to cities. This pattern contributed

to the significant global urbanization of

the 19th century.

2. How did world

power shift during

the Industrial

Revolution?

2. The wealth and power of industrial

nations grew larger than those who did

not industrialize. The balance of power in

the world shifted to those who

industrialized.

2. Learning Objective 5.4.E

This helps to explain how the locations

and modes of production have developed

and changed over time. The rapid

development of steam-powered

production in European countries and the

United States contributed to the increase

in these regions’ share of global

manufacturing during the first Industrial

Revolution. While Middle Eastern and

Asian countries continued to produce

manufactured goods, these regions’

share in global manufacturing declined,

for example textile production in Egypt

and India could not compete with the

mechanized production in Britain.

Imperialism

3. How did

industrialization

lead to imperialism,

or the desire for

more colonies?

3. Industrialized nations were seeking

raw materials for their factories.

Industrialized states felt superior to those

who hadn’t industrialized. Because most

of these places were not in Europe part

of this was white superiority based in

racist ideology that began with the 15th

century trans-Atlantic slave trade.

3-5. Learning Objective 6.1.A

This helps to explain how ideologies

contributed to the development of

imperialism from 1750-1900. A range of

cultural, religious, and racial ideologies

were used to justify imperialism, including

Social Darwinism, nationalism, the

concept of the civilizing mission (The

White Man’s Burden), and the desire to

religiously convert indigenous

populations. Manifest Destiny in the

United States was another ideology used

to justify imperialism.

4. What was Social

Darwinism? How

was it used to

justify imperialism?

4. Based on Charles Darwin’s theory of

evolution, it was the belief that the strong

always defeat the weak. Therefore,

powerful nations should defeat weaker

ones just as the rich can dominate the

poor. It was believed to be natural.

What was nationalism and what was its connection to imperialism?
1. Nationalism was immense pride in nation based on a common identity. Sometimes it is built at the expense of others. Building a large empire was a way of building nationalism, as was done by Britain, France and Japan.
What economic motives led to the continuation of imperialism?
1. Imperialism led to great wealth, so European nations kept expanding their holdings in Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Imperialism in Africa
How did imperialism expand European control over African lands?
1. Instead of trading post empires a “scramble for Africa” began. The British took control of Egypt in order to create the Suez Canal for a quicker route to the Indian Ocean. The French established settler colonies in Algeria in North Africa. 7 - 8. Learning Objective 6.2.B This helps to explain the process by which state power shifted in various parts of the world from 1750 to 1900. Many European states used both warfare and diplomacy to expand their empires in Africa. For example, the British sent out the Royal Niger Company with contracts that allowed Africans to sign away land for some small benefit, while the Belgians brutalized the people of Congo under King Leopold’s rule, in order to establish control. Europeans also established settler colonies in parts of their empires. For example South Africa was directly ruled by British colonists, as were Australia and New Zealand. Learning Objective 6.8.I These are all good examples of the significance of the effects of imperialism from 1750- 1900
What was the Berlin Conference?
1. Due to tensions between European powers over claimed lands in Africa in European leaders gathered in Berlin in 1884 - 1885 to decide which African lands each would claim without fighting. Africans were not invited, but nearly the entire continent was divided up and claimed by Europeans. Imperialism in Asia
How did India come to be controlled by the British?
1. The British had long had trading posts in India, but as the Mughal Empire weakened they claimed more and more land until most of India was under British 9 - 10.

How did the experience of being colonized increase nationalism in some places?
1. Many were outraged at the actions of Europeans and banded together to organize resistance and to create new states. 13. Learning Objective 6.3.C This helps to explain how and why internal and external factors influenced the process of state building from 1750-
What is an example of a new state being formed by those who had been conquered by a foreign power?
1. Partly inspired by the French Revolution,Serbians and Greeks in the Balkans rose up against Ottoman power and established their own states in 1815 and 1832, respectively.
2. Learning Objective 5.2.C Inspired by earlier Atlantic Revolutions people around the world called for national unification or liberation. This included the Balkans. Learning Objective 6.3.C Increasing questions about political authority and growing nationalism contributed to anticolonial movements.
What are some examples of organized resistance against imperialism in America?
1. The Cherokee tried to push back against US claims on American Indian lands in the Supreme Court, but President Andrew Jackson removed them from their lands and forced them further west in the Trail of Tears. In the northwest, American Indians began a practice called the Ghost Dance to try to get rid of those of European descent. They believed that by doing this dance their ancestors spirits would rise up and kick out the white population. This eventually led to the conflict at Wounded Knee where the Sioux Indians were crushed by the US government ending the Indian Wars. 15 - 16. Learning Objective 6.2.B Part of the reason for this resistance was that the United States, Russia and Japan expanded their land holdings by conquering and settling in neighboring territories. In the United States this meant grabbing land from American Indians under the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, which was the belief that expansion across the entire continent was inevitable. Learning Objective 6.3.C Anti-imperial resistance took various forms, including direct resistance within empires (such as the 1857 rebellion in India against the rule of the British East India Company) and the creation of new states on the peripheries (such as the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma after their removal on the Trail of Tears.

imperialism in Africa? that originated in Europe they developed the belief that if they killed all of their cattle the spirits of their ancestors would return to drive the British from the land. The Cattle Killing Movement did not work, but resulted in famine and death for many Xhosa. Balkans discussed in number 14 are another example of this). Increasing discontent with imperial rule led to rebellions, some of which were influenced by religious ideas like the Ghost Dance and the Cattle Killing Movement. Learning Objective 6.8.I These are all good examples of the significance of the effects of imperialism from 1750- 1900 Economic Changes due to Imperialism

How did farming and production change in Asia, Africa and the Americas due to imperialism?
1. Many people moved from being subsistence farmers to cash crop farming. This means that instead of growing the food they needed to survive they were selling crops for export. These crops included coffee, rubber, and sugar among others. In Uruguay and Argentina cattle ranching became big business to satisfy European and American desires for beef. Peru and Chile began to specialize in guano which was used for fertilizers. 17 - 19 Learning Objective 6.4.D This explains how various environmental factors contributed to the development of the global economy. The need for raw materials for factories and increased food supplies for the growing population in urban centers led to the growth of export economies around the world that specialized in commercial extraction of natural resources and the production of food and industrial crops. The profits from these raw materials were used to purchase finished goods. Examples of export economies: Cotton production in Egypt, Rubber extraction in the Amazon and the Congo basin, the palm oil trade in West Africa. The Guano industries in Peru & Chile. Meat from Argentina and Uruguay. Diamonds from Africa.
Which crops became especially profitable due to industrialization?
1. Cotton, rubber and palm oil. Cotton was needed in the early part of the Industrial Revolution as Britain focused on textiles. Rubber and palm oil were needed for factory machines.
What kinds of global economic changes were created?
1. The world became increasingly interconnected as colonies were not only a source of raw materials but also a market for finished products. Also, colonial economies weakened due to their focus on producing cash crops and they needed to get food from other places. Global Migration
Why did people from India
1. Most people moved for the purpose of labor. Indentured servants from India 20 - 21. Learning Objective 5.5.F Railroads, steamships, and the telegraph

society that had been formerly occupied by men.

What were some of the negative responses to mass migrations in the 18th and 19th centuries?
1. There was a nativist backlash against migrants who were willing to take low wages, and thus were seen as competition for jobs. An example of this was the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. 22. Learning Objective 6.7.H Patterns of migration affected society from 1750-1900. Receiving societies did not always embrace immigrants, as seen in the various degrees of ethnic and racial prejudice and the ways states attempted to regulate the increased flow of people across their borders. The Chinese Exclusion Act and White Australia Policy are examples of this.
