Read textbook pages 773-778. Answer all questions in complete sentences on loose leaf paper. Due Wednesday, 12/18. 1) Vocabulary Builder: Find two words in the reading that you don't know. Look up each word in the dictionary. For each, write out the word, the definition, and a sentence that uses the word. Choose regular words, not social studies key terms that are boldfaced in the text. 2) What reason for European imperialism is discussed in the first paragraph? How does it relate to industrialization? 3) Create a three-column chart entitled 'Africa Before European Domination' with these three column headings: 'African Diversity'; 'Early Contact'; and 'The Congo' . Take notes into the chart. 4) Explain the theory of Social Darwinism. In your opinion, was it racist? Explain. 5) Describe three factors that enabled Europeans to conquer Africa. Which do you think was the most important? Explain. 6) What was decided at the Berlin Conference? What do you think it showed about Europeans' attitudes towards Africans? 7) Which three groups fought for control of South Africa? What valuable resources fueled the conflict? Which group won? 8) Creative Response: Read the quote by Cecil Rhodes on p.775. Imagine he has just posted it as his Facebook status update.
