19th-century Imperialism and Making Peace, 1871-1914 Resources
This lesson examines the key motivations behind 19th-century imperial expansion, including the pursuit of raw materials, new markets, strategic power, and national prestige. Students will analyse why Asia and Africa were particularly exposed to imperial ambitions, focusing on technological advantages, political instability, and European ideologies such as the "civilising mission."
The lesson will also evaluate the rise of new imperial powers—notably the United States and Japan—and how they challenged traditional European dominance through their own expansionist policies. Finally, students will assess the effectiveness of peace efforts, including international conferences and treaties, and consider how these attempts often failed to resolve tensions, setting the stage for future global conflicts.
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
- Identify the reasons for imperial expansion in the 19th century;
- Analyse why Asia and Africa were exposed to the New Imperialism;
- Evaluate the rise of new imperialists, the US and Japan; and
- Assess the effectiveness of attempts to make peace.
