Do Now: What is New Imperialism?
• New Imperialism- 1870-1914 Nationalism produces strong, centrally governed states. Industrial Revolution made economies stronger as well. Japan, the US, and industrialized nations become more aggressive with a need to expand. New Imperialism was focused mainly on Asia and Africa because declining empires, local wars, and the slave trade (Africa) had weakened many states.
Nationalism-A feeling of pride in and devotion to ones country
Belief in European Superiority
•Racism—belief that one race is better than others
•Social Darwinism—survival of the fittest applied to human society
• “White Man’s Burden” – a poem by Rudyard Kipling expressed the idea that white imperialists had a moral duty to educate people in nations that were considered less developed.
Militarism-the glorification of military power.
