languages◦ In 1880 Europeans
controlled only about 10% of Africa (mainly on the coasts)
The Scramble for Africa
The Industrial Revolution gave Europeans a reason to add lands to their control.◦ Think of the factors of production (land, labor,
capital)
◦ What are some of the reasons for European Imperialism? Raw Materials New markets = improved economies

others This thinking is a result of Social Darwinism

from European control
Europeans would not end up selling a lot of goods to Africa, instead they developed “cash crops”
