Essay Instructions: SLP Module 2 Modern World History
Western industrialization and imperialism were intimately connected in several ways. First, industrialization made Western nations, particularly Britain and France, more able to conquer and colonize other parts of the world by the 1800s. Industrialization made European nations richer, it made them more technologically adept, and it boosted the scientific knowledge needed to explore or know better parts of the world that were not yet under Western control. Perhaps most important, industry placed new weaponry in the hands of the Westerners: gunboats, artillery, quick-firing and accurate rifles, and machine guns, all of which made Western armies extremely difficult for poorly armed native warriors to resist.
If industrialization gave Europeans a greater capacity to conquer and colonize, it also gave them a greater variety of motives. This SLP will examine what those motives were.
Read the information in the background material, look for more information, and then write a 2 to 3 pages paper answering the following question:
Why did industrialization in Europe lead to imperialist conquest of other societies? What made European Armies so effective against native resistance?
