Imperialism Paragraph
During the 1800’s European countries controlled Africa and all of their resources. Some of the resources that
European countries wanted were ivory, gold, diamonds, oil, and rubber. They wanted all these natural resources
to help keep the industrial revolution going in their country. They didn’t have enough natural resources so they stole,
enslaved, and even killed people for these things. They even sent missionaries to Africa to change their religion because
Europeans thought that what African’s believed was wrong and primitive. Africa is not the only country that this happened to.
