The start of Imperialism…
• European countries need raw materials
– It’s the Industrial revolution, they always are
looking for raw materials
• In the mean time Belgium has Dr. Livingston
missing in Africa
– Henry Stanley goes looking for him on a Christian
mission
In Africa…
• He finds Dr. Livingston and they head back to
Europe
• Dr. Livingston I presume…
• King Leopold II of Belgium hears about all the
great stuff they saw and decides he wants it
(mainly the raw materials  Diamonds and Metals)
SEND THE ARMY!! TAKE IT OVER!
I DON’T WANT MY
GRANDSON DYING
IN YOUR ARMY
OVER DIAMONDS!!
He will not die for
diamonds! We are
going to teach the
Africans, to show them
the ways of civilization
and to ditch their
barbaric traditions!

country, where they are basically using the
land for cash crops and don’t care about
anything else

– Indians could not walk down the sidewalk or have
equal rights and they got the crap food and drinks
England…
• Has made Opium illegal…
– So instead they will grow it in India and trade it
with China
• So Britain goes to War with China, forces them
into an unfair treaty

addicts
