Imperialism in Africa
Hook: Throughout the lesson there was much discussion regarding how Africa was treated unfairly. This inequality can be best seen during the Berlin Conference in 1884; Africa had no say what-so-ever! Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Italy were some of the countries involved in the Berlin Conference deciding on how to separate Africa into equal parts for resources. The effect of the Berlin Conference led to African tribes
being separated and rival tribes bounded together. This led to violence and unrest that would last until the Great War and beyond.
Task: Pretend you are living in Africa during this time, your tribe, consisting of your family and friends have been taken from you and placed into another area where you cannot go. You are then forced to relocate to a tribe that is hostile towards your tribe. Create a two (2) paragraph journal entry (in a Word document) on how you feel regarding your tribe being taken away from
you, you being in a tense situation with a rival tribe, and knowing that the precious resources you used to use to trade with friendly tribes is being stripped away.
Next, change your perspective, pretend you are a European that has endured a dangerous voyage, lost friends due to disease during the voyage, and heard of the amazing possibility of gaining wealth by ceasing valuable resources in Africa. Create a two (2) paragraph journal entry (in a Word document) regarding how you feel concerning the loss of close friends, the tremendous voyage you embarked on, and the chance that you can return to Europe with precious resources that will gain you notoriety and wealth.
*Both paragraphs should include at least three (3) pieces of historically accurate information*
