3-14-18
(1750-1914) This chapter is about the colonial era. African Americans, Asians, and Pacific Islanders were ruled by the British, Fench, Germans, Italians, Belgians, Portuguese, Russians, or Americans. All of this took place in the 19th century. This chapter went over all of the European political views and ideas that took over the world during the colonial era.
Industry and Empire. Strayer mentions the impact the Industrial Revolution had. It brought a new look to the economic needs of the nations. Europe needed raw materials like Meat from Argentina, Wheat from American Midwest and Southern Russia, bananas from Central America, rubber from Brazil, and cocoa and palm oil from West Africa.
Strayer states: "Promises to solve the class conflicts of an industrializing society while avoiding revolution or the serious redistribution of wealth" when explaining imperialism. This philosophy was popular in all of Europe.
Under European Rule, the colonial power gave the people a" traumatic experience". they were not treated well. These people lost their homes, cattle, crops, land, and pretty much their life. No -place was treated fairly. The colonial life was not fun.
The jobs and work the people had to do under colonial power affected these people`s lives in a number of ways. It was all about the demands of the colonial state. For example, Labor on public projects, building railroads, bui8lding government bu8ildings, transporting things. Brought up was migration for work. Colonials from Aisa, Africa, and Oceania gained employment in Europe ran plantations, mines, construction, and homes.

Documents: The Devilfish in Egyptian Water
A doc that caught my eye was one on page 790. It is a cool painting of An American view of British Imperialism. It is a cartoon of a man repr4esenting England and has long arms reaching out to other countries on the map, implying that all the countries England has its hand on are under the English rule. This is a cartoon from 1882 (The Granger Collection, NYC)
