Imperialism DBQ
Causes
Industrialization created a demand for raw goods as the economy boomed (Sources 2, 5, 6, 7)
-
Navies needed new places to stop and refuel as Western nations could support larger navies (Source 4)
-
Nations desired to have power over other European nations and exerted this through collecting colonies (Sources 4,6)
-
-
New industrial technology such as steamships and railroads allowed for the rapid communication and transit demanded by imperialism (Source 7).
-
A population boom from imperialism caused immigrants to seek new places to live such as the colonies (Source 4).
-
Effects
Positive
Suttee and some other negative practices were ended in India, allowing for improved social equality (Source 3).
-
Western nations were able to continue to industrialize due to having new raw goods and markets to sell processed goods to, creating important economic growth and a rise in European standard of living. (Sources 2,5,6,7).
-
The demands of a booming population were met with new colonies and raw goods, allowing for new people not to starve (Source 4).
-
Negative
Native economies were lost to new goods, making them economically dependent on the West (Source 2, 7, 8).
-
-
Native communities were severely limited in their political and social power, harming them (Sources 1, 3, 7)
-
Native cultural ideals were lost in the implementation of Western ideals (Sources 2,3,7)
