  1. The Age Of Imperialism World History Chapter 26

  2. Imperialism • Imperialism – countries competing for land • Happened for several reasons: • Because of I.R., countries needed to find resources • No industrialized nation wanted to depend on any other • So, countries started taking control of weaker nations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America because: • They wanted to sell their own products to these countries and gain a monopoly • Having colonies increased prestige • Colonies could become a source of troops • Colonies could be used for refueling of naval ships • Could convert non-Christians to Christianity

  3. And So It Begins… • France imperialized Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia(in Africa) • Britain got the Island of Cyprus, Egypt, Sudan, and the Congo • Germany got territory in west Africa • Spain got northern Morocco • Italy got Tripoli and renamed it Libya • Competition was fierce, but no war so far • Britain extended into India • Japan never imperialized but went to war with China over ports in Korea (Sino-Japanese War) and won access to Korea and Liaodong

  4. And The Plot Thickens… • Russia and France didn’t want Japan in Liaodong so they forced them out and made China pay money • U.S., U.K., and Germany compete for the Samoan Islands • U.S. wins control of Hawaii • 1898 U.S. goes to war with Spain over Guam and the Philippines and wins • Spain loses Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Wake Island to U.S.

  5. Latin America • James Monroe – created the Monroe Doctrine in 1823 that stated that the US would not interfere in European affairs but would intervene if Europe bothered any American nation • U.S. built the Panama Canal to protect its empire • Originally, Colombia controlled Panama • Panama revolted, won its independence (with help from US) • U.S. bought and built strip of land for canal

  6. Mexico • Mexico underwent several government changes in early 1900s • Victoriano Huerta gained control • President Woodrow Wilson wanted to overthrow Huerta (worried about $) • In 1914, Huerta had several US soldiers arrested so the US sent in the Marines • In 1916, Pancho Villa raided several towns in New Mexico and killed and raped several Americans • U.S. sent in troops (led by John Pershing) but withdrew all troops in 1917 to focus on WWI
