Answer:
Here's a basic outline
Step-by-step explanation:
Intro: Imperialism in Africa had negative effects on both the economies and politics of African countries. In politics, power shifted from chiefs and council members to white Europeans. Also in politics, European powers divided Africa into numerous states without the consent of tribes in those regions. In economics, imperialism struggled to gain a workforce in dangerous jobs (like mining) and the economies of African countries post imperialism struggled. You can add culture, and say that African traditions and customs were suppressed and Western culture was promoted, sometimes forcefully.
Paragraph 1 - Politics:
-In this paragraph, use documents 1, 3, and 7 to show the shift in power from chiefs and village leaders to foreign European powers.
-Document 1 shows a village chief passing power to the Boers in an effort to prevent further conflict.
-Document 3 shows how people who were once citizens are now under the rule of the Europeans. "before this they had supervised the slaves’ work—now they did their own".
-Document 7 shows the scramble for Africa.
Paragraph 2 - Politics (again):
-In this paragraph, use documents 2, 5, and 6 to show how Europeans asserted their control by dehumanizing the natives and murdering many.
-Document 2 shows a battle between Ethiopia and France. Describe the casualties.
-Document 5 shows the atrocities in Belgium. "being mutilated to force them to gather rubber, and in their mutilated condition set a living example for their fellow-creatures"
-Document 6 shows more atrocities. "each day they shoot someone
dead for no reason at all".
Paragraph 3 - Economics:
Use document 4 to describe labor shortages and your knowledge of the Economic struggles African countries faced after their independence.
-Document 4 shows how dangerous jobs such as mining attracted little attention, and often people were forced to work (refer to paragraph 2).
-Little infrastructure was built in these regions because they were simply sources of resources to be exported to European countries. As a result, many of these countries continued to be dependent on European countries for trade.
Conclusion:
Just restate the intro and relate imperialism to today.
