Hello there! So, today we began to learn about the Longterm Causes of WWI (World War One.) To do this, we started by defining the following terms: Darwinism, Social Darwinism, and Imperialism. After that, we did some guided notetaking and copied down a timeline that Mr.K used to teach and discuss these longterm things that led up to WWI. Please see these slides all below...
(below) Can you identify the "imperialist" countries??
Can you tell which lands/countries they "imperialized?"
(below) Let's take a look at Nigeria as an example.
The British drew the black line border and called this land, "Nigeria."
If they had never come here, what kind of border(s) would the Africans have created? The same one?? Different ones?
*How do you think the British felt about themselves?
*How do you think the Africans felt about themselves?
