European+Imperialism

__**European Imperialism: **__ During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Western powers divided Africa and colonized large areas of Asia. At the Berlin Conference in 1884-1885, European nations established rules for the division of Africa with little concern about how their actions would affect the African people. Industrialization increased the need for raw materials and new markets. Western imperialists were driven by this need as they looked for countries to acquire. Three different forms of imperialism developed: colonies, protectorates, spheres of influence. Resistance to imperialism also took many forms including armed conflict and intellectual movements.

Students will create create a Phoster, Voicethread, or PowToon that provides information on imperialism in Africa, Asia, India, and Japan.

SPECIFIC TOPIC DIRECTIONS** <span style="color: #303335; font-family: ProximaNova-Light,Arial,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">Be sure that all of the following topics within your empire are mentioned in your project. (for example, your group might choose __ seven __ of the topics and write a story on each and then mention any other terms within any of the articles.) You can write/discuss them from the perspective of the colonizer or the colonized. You can get started with research for most of your articles in your book, but then go to the Internet and other classroom textbooks. Some will need to be “background” or “anniversary” pieces since they happen much earlier in the century (they are in bold…)
