Crash Course on Imperialism [if subtitles are not automatically enabled, please click on the CC icon on the bottom lower right hand side of the screen to access this feature]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alJaltUmrGo&feature=emb_logo European imperialism in the nineteenth century differed from earlier phases of colonial expansion. What were the causes of the new imperialism that took place after 1880? How was it different, and which parts of the globe were singled out for special attention by European imperial powers? What is the central argument in Kipling’s poem, “The White Man’s Burden”? Is he advocating European expansion and Western imperialism or is he pointing out the responsibilities that go with imperialism or both? Is the poem idealistic, racist, paternalistic, or something else? How so? Within European society, who might be inspired by Kipling’s poem and who would not? Compare the excerpt from Morel’s The Black Man’s Burden with Kipling’s poem. How does the piece by Morel challenge or undermine Kipling’s beliefs? What are Morel’s criticisms of European imperialism in Africa? Would Morel’s condemnation of imperialism have a significant impact in the early twentieth century? Why or why not? By the early twenty-first century, which of the writers seems most relevant? Why? Does Morel’s poem speak for Asians under colonization? Is he then making the same mistake as Kipling in in portraying only one view of imperialism?
