 * Chapter 24 Section 1**

​


 * 1) The term "White Man’s Burden" ** shows the relationship between the European colonists and the native people they governed. The European colonists saw Imperialism as their duty and even as a burden that they had to go into uncivilized countries and try to civilize these people who didn't know the western ways. They saw this relationship as beneficial to both themselves and the native peoples because they were enriching their lives with western culture. When in fact most of the natives rejected this and saw it as straying away from their own culture and own values. This also brings about and supports the idea of social Darwinism which is the theory that one race is superior to another.

· __Economic __- The Europeans would have access to natural resources such as rubber petroleum manganese for steel, and palm oil for the lubrication of machinery. They also had a new place to sell goods hoping that the local people would buy the cheaper European product instead of the better more expensive local product. ***this ruins the local economy ***. (The goods were cheap as a result of the Industrial Revolution in Europe)
 * 2) The four major motivations for imperialism are . . . **

· __Political __- having natural allies and new places to put bases for military and navy purposes. having a strong sense of national security. ***this is extremely one sided and only benefited the Europeans ***

· __Nationalism __- to expand your territory more than other countries. Have new trade posts. Spread their ideas and thoughts.

· __<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Religious __<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">- humanitarian and religious goals were to try to spread Christianity. They felt it was their "duty" to help the uncivilized. Needed to bring Christianity to the pagans so the wouldn’t go to hell. Religion brings people together so they saw it as uniting the community. Spread the word of god and try to convert others to their own religion. Brings about Social Darwinism so the native people knew they were racially inferior and wouldn't question the white man. The Europeans saw as a natural way of improving the human race.

They had all good things and didn’t threaten the native people. But when things started to get out of hand they couldn't throw the Europeans out of their country because they didn't have the skill or man power, often the economy and political system had become dependent on them being there or they believed the concept of social Darwinism that said they were inferior. (Go back to page 752 and include additional information about why Non-Western States were unable to resist Imperialism)
