Pg. 84 (top): compare this map to a modern map of Europe – What’s different? What’s the same?

Pg. 88-89: Latin America

What’s the difference between colonialism and imperialism? Slide13

European Influence on Africa

Berlin

Conference of 1884-1885:

A meeting held by the major powers in Europe to end disputes, answer questions and divide up the land of Africa

The result was a hodgepodge of geometric boundaries that divided Africa into fifty irregular countries—largely ignoring ethnic differencesSlide14

Effects:

Europeans ignored Africa’s existing states, ethnic groups, and natural environments

Countries left landlocked

Ethnic Diversity MapSlide15

European Influence on Africa

When colonies became independent, gaining legal status of sovereign state was easy; economic independence was impossibleSlide16

Effects of Colonialism

The concentration of wealth that colonialism brought to Europe (and parts dominated by European settlers such as the U.S., Canada, and Australia) is at the heart of the highly uneven global distribution of power we still have today. Slide17
