European Colonization DBQ Documents
For the 300 years between 1500 and 1800, European nations traded for slaves, gold, and ivory along the west coast of Africa, but they did not go deeply into the continent. In the 1800s this changed as European explorers pushed their way into the interiors of western and central Africa. By the 1880s Africa was under full assault as European nations competed with one another for control of the continent. This DBQ takes a look at this quest for colonies and asks what was the primary driving force behind it.
Before writing, the class will go over the attached documents to help you and your peers better formulate your arguments as to what the motivating factors were for the European colonization of Africa.
