What impact did industrialization have on the process of colonization in Africa and Asia?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
Students should understand that European colonization of Africa and Asia was heavily affected by the reality of industrialization. They should examine the economic motives that industrialization created for European states. European states needed markets for manufactured goods as well as a source for raw materials such as rubber, palm oil, iron ore, cotton, and many other products. In addition, these highly populated Asian and Africa locations provided "customers" to purchase these goods (although most did not have the means to do so). Students should also examine the military and maritime capacity of industrially produced weapons and clipper ships, which made travel and conquest possible.
