Summary:
This Unit talks about Imperialism, colonization, and Resistance. During this period, the Europeans went to colonize Africa to gain power, and goods. The more land the Europeans had control, the more power they have. The motivations for imperialism are social, economic, and political. For example, the Europeans used Africa and Belgium. Belgium was the colonizer, yet they got wealthier which was a positive impact for them. Africa was the colony, yet they got poor which was not a good impact for them.
