i learnt from this video that imperialism is the domination of one countries political, economic or cultural life by another. It brought wealth and power to europeans but the ppl living in colonies were oppressed abused and sometimes killed. Colonization was a noble undertaking. Europeans had strong govt, and powerful navies and armies and africans struggled with this. European power was fueled by the technology in the industrial revolution. african colonies served as ports for the europeans. there were missionaries that opened hospitals. Europeans exploited the africans.

I actually understood this video. I knew what was going on today in class but I was still a little bit confused. I knew the fates but didn't really understand it. This really helped me understand it, and when it was talking about the missionary's I knew it was talking about paternalism. I like how this video showed the effects of the industrial revolution that led to imperialism all around the world.

Wow, this video really made it clearer for me to understand how ,the slaves, usually African American, were abused. They were abused to the point where they weren't only getting beat, but they were being killed.

This was an educational video, although slight boring. My favorite part was when they showed how the Industrial Revolution came into play for Britain. It really tied together everything that we're learning. It helped to see them react what happaned in the 1800's. Paternalism also played a part in this video, and I knew what it meant! This video really helped me understand imperialism much better.

This video really explains the general idea of imperialism, and its positives and negatives. It brought wealth and power for the Europeans, but at the same time brought hardship to the Africans. The Europeans exploited, abused, and killed the people living in the colonies, just to keep their economy running.

This was a great video. in 4 minutes, it reviewed a lot of what we learnt in class. Every once and a while i forget what Imperialism is. Now it is clearer to me. I still can't believe how the Europeans treated the Africans. They barged into their land, took their natural resources, and forced labor upon the Africans. And all of this was just another way to get more money.

in the 1800s european imperialism took over in Africa.Imperialism which is basiclly taking over 1 country by another country as a colony looked good for the Europeans .I feel the truth is the way of life for the Africans was bad. The duo dans just wanted the lard to use for trade and to convert the Africans to their religions. People were forced to work for the Europeans. The europeans tried to make it look that they were good for the africans but they really wre bad.

Even though this video supplied tons of helpful information, it wasn't as interesting as the one we watched in class. On the plus side, it wasn't as graphic. It was a little hard for me to pay attention, but afterwards I watched it again to try and understand it more. The brutality of the imperialistic time blows my mind. It reminds me of the Holocaust which is so frightening knowing there was another time similar to it. The way the Europeans treated the Africans was crazy.

I feel that this video was less graphic then the one in class (thank G-d) and proved a unisent point of view. At first Europeans gained their trust and then flipped the script and enslaved them. I'm sure that in their twisted mind they felt like they were doing a justice to the Africans (paternalism) but in truth cutting off body parts for not finishing the quota is abusive. This video was a visual of what we learned in class and the pictures helped make it come to life without putting me to sleep :)

The Europeans should of been more easy going on the Africans. If Europeans were easier on the Africans, the Africans would of lived longer and might have respected the Europeans a little.

Imperialism by Europeans in Asia and Africa were fueled by the Industrial revolution. The African native were invaded and abused. The first area conquered by the imperialists was the Congo. In the Congo the people were treated the worst. Although I understand the positives of imperialism, it should never be achieved with unnecessary violence.

I thought this video explained a lot about imperialism how the Europeans gained control much of Africa and how the Europeans had a very strong government. The africans suffered and were killed through this process. The africans weren't allowed to use their traditions.

This really showed the overall main idea of what imperialism is all about. It was really sad how the african americans were treated so poorly and how they were abused.

i thought this video was really helpful. it explained what imperialism was very clearly. the europeans were very harsh and brutal on the africans. they didnt care about them at alll and did whatever takes to make money.

i think this is a great video bc. it really shows us how cruel they treated the africans. I do think that the video was a little disturbing but it really showed exactly how poorly they were treated.

This was an educational video, I liked it. The video was helpful and easy to understand. As I watched the video i realized that imperialism was a very hard time for many people. The people who weren't European and were in the colonies were abused/killed while Europe was making money and gaining more and more power.
