  3. An important concept of the Enlightenment was that society would progress. How did the economic philosophers view progress?

  4. Enlightenment philosophers and reformers criticized the great inequalities that existed in society and believed that through reason, a better society was possible. They called for social equality, abolition of slavery, prison reform, and improvements ion education. What changes did reformers advocate to correct the faults of an industrialized society?

Colonialism
Scramble for Africa

Task: The students will be introduced to the European "scramble for Africa" as they claim possession of classroom furniture and attempt to reconfigure the classroom. 

Purpose: Students will be able to compare their race to the competition between European countries to control African territory.

Materials Needed: Student Handout; index cards; tape

Directions: Each group will create a name for their country and create a simple flag to represent the group. The flag will be drawn on several index cards. Each group will then create a map showing how their group would like to reconfigure the classroom. Groups will then place their flag on any piece of furniture in the classroom that they want to "claim" as theirs in the new arrangement. Each group will be given a handout with specific directions. Each group needs to follow the directions precisely as written.

Discussion Questions: Respond to the following prompt.

The scramble for Africa territory among European powers was like...

 

Colonialism
Quest for Empire

Task: Students will examine the motives behind the goal of European territorial expansion around the globe. 

Purpose: To better understand the motives behind the European rush to create colonial empires at the end of the nineteenth century. Students are introduced to five different types of motives for empire building--political, economic, exploratory, religious, and ideological. 

Materials Needed: Placards of African artifacts, matrix

Directions: Students will be placed in pair groups. Each student will recreate the matrix provided in his/her notebook the day before this activity. The matrix will be completed during the activity.

Each pair will be given a placard and describe what they see, draw their symbol for each motive, and write a brief explanation of why they chose the motive(s) they did. This process will be repeated for several other placards.

Students will then view of map of colonial empires to connect the motives to the actual empires of 1914.

 

Student Response: Make a spectrum on the left side of your notebook that ranges from "Most Praiseworthy Motive" to "Least Praiseworthy Motive." Work with a small group to discuss to what extent each of the five motives was praiseworthy. Afterward, record your responses (which may differ from your group members) on your spectrum with a one-sentence justification for each placement. 

Primary Source
from In Favor of Imperialism Speech by Albert Beveridge

While running for the Senate in 1898, Indiana's Albert Beveridge gave a campaign speech in which he explained why the United States should keep the Philippines.

  1. Whose hand did Beveridge see in America's destiny?

  2. According to Beveridge, what would Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Cuba gain from their association with the United States?

  3. Which arguments for the expansion of the American empire do you find most persuasive? Why?
