Assignment: Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
• Website: White Man's Burden (Rudyard Kipling)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:

• Belgium & Africa
• Britain & India
• Germany & Africa
• France & Africa
2. Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.
3. Analyze the motivations of the invading country?
4. How did ethnocentrism manifest in their interactions?
